today we are in beautiful West Auckland and the bush there's always tuckity Rangers this
is putter there's a post there's a handrail here's a dick we're putting these posts on
the outside of this handrail and bolting the men to support pergola pergola pergola
house they're not going bear leave my chair right now we put in the post that
has to go through the handrail and not on the outside of the handrail
got a few posts up that one was a bit of a mission have to go in between the handrail and down there
we'll show you in a sec photos just marked out this post here and that sucker there's gonna
be bolted to their joists bolted to the joists set up underneath and this is the post in the
corner to cut the top trade out and support this string here which will eventually be supported
by our post I've already dug a hole down there dug a hole down there to position the bottom
of the post and then as you saw here I'm pretty confident burr as you saw here this post came all
the way down checked over there these ones are just going to be bolted straight to these posts
so a lot of timber okay this is the fifth and final post how does cut a hole in the dish will
knock you out I'm gonna nail it temporarily to the beam and then get some bolts and really hold it
get ready to go that's me blade in the makita this is one of the beams here that we're putting
up it's got a 10 degree angle on it to match with the other 10 degree angled beans that
are around the property and each rafter is gonna be set in 50ml should the beam so we
don't wanna go more than 50 because we don't wanna take the strength out of this that's 300
by 50 this thing huge but we don't want to take any of the strength out of it because
of the long span that it has so I'm gonna check these I'm gonna take out these check out cinder
so just traced our original beam onto the new beam because they're gonna be symmetrical the
same on either side and the rafters are gonna be connecting the two together
two beams so we've lined these up a little check outs well just needs to be this one
needs to be knocked that way slightly but you can see the two post locations
and this post location here it's sort of mapped out as much as we can so when we put
it up there we don't have to measure and muck around with that do you like my hat
okay guys we've got a goalpost song
we're gonna have a little break for lunch and then we're gonna cut all our tapered roughness
we jump in the pool powder but hey it is big but it frames the whites hockey range is very nicely
so that monster backyard there I spent about three months of my apprenticeship here helping
build this dick that goes around the pool and all the planter boxes are stairs and handrails and
even the little sheds in the corners down there because this is actually my old man's place and
he's a builder when you're a builder you start building a deck and then you think why not build
another deck and you end up with a backyard like this he bought a 12 inch drop saw back in the day
and he built this top deck with it and he did that when I was far too young to help out and
then as the years went by finally I started my apprenticeship and everything and I was at an
age where I could help with this one so I spent months just building that and that [ __ ] in the
corner and now we're adding to the timber bonanza that is this backyard with this pergola here
so now we're gonna help form this corner up here they're all shooting out shooting out
and connecting up there in order to make it a little bit easier we've decided to put our
multi groves on first and then all we have to do is get an extension bit and then screw it in
doing bad my YouTube it is that why not
