    The JIG to hold the joist was genius. Great job! Very creative.

    Wow. Thank you for posting this. After watching this I noticed so many mistakes that I was making and your video really helped me to go back and fix everything and it made my work so much easier. Thank you

    I love all your projects because most folks need help building their own skills to improve their knowledge of home projects!👍

    I’ve watched about 30 deck videos and this is the first brother I’ve seen building a deck. ✊🏽

    I am glad to see that I am not the only person who sometimes works inefficiently just so I have less to think about at any given stage - thank you!
  • it’s always fun watching your videos my friend...i’m a woodworker as well and getting prepared to attempt my first deck build...i’m considering a sunroom with a deck on top in efforts to make use of the space under the deck...great vids!

    Pro Tip: Just dump the dry concrete into the hole. It will setup from the moisture in the ground. And try to make sure none of the wood from the steps sits on the ground or it will rot. Putting some gravel/rock under it will ensure it will dry out. Otherwise it will sit in the moist dirt and rot prematurely .

    On a positive note, I liked how he did the cosmetic fix on that angled corner.

    Good work man! My father and I have been building decks like this for many years and they are rock solid even without joist hangers. We use 3 inch screws on all the structure and we overbuild it with extra cross bracing just to be sure. The decks are still standing 10-20 years later and we saved lots of money not bothering with the expensive hangers, brackets and lag bolts.

    I like the creativity mixed with the detailed approach. Just like many others, I look forward to see the final version. God Bless.

    I think your little girl’s help made a big difference in your project 🥰. I am in Florida as well and I do worry about creatures making a home under any structure …
