our plan is to build this beautiful thick over the next three days you will need two
people a shovel a henna nails of course a saw a little concrete wood blah blah blah but the
first step is to start with the post sit up all these timber boards running the length
of our string line to indicate where the posts are going usually you would use spray
paint then you've marked the actual thing you're digging but we've put these boards
on top as indicators of where it goes and we have to sort of cut around or figure it out
so now we set up the streamline again and we start setting up our
posts embracing them so they're in the right position when we pull the concrete
so the all-important clearance around the posts is there including underneath the posts I said when
we pull the concrete it'll just go underneath there and that post won't sink that's what it's
all about all right so we've put the straight piece on going across all the holes and we've
attached each post to that straight piece and we're break through but you're a compiler you're
happy with how straight they look pie dough an idea working together for a long time where I'll
be good man's here's always happy that's true look at them happy is Larry who's Larry anyway
well we did it all the posts done its glorious ready for tomorrow posts done and day two we
begin by putting the BB row on top of the post and on the house side over here this is your house we
are gonna put a ribbon plate the same height as the beer also on day two we will going to
throw in the joists and that will be attached there forming the basic structure of the deep
we put two marks you put one mark on this house then on the second post we do the very same height
and then we get a level and we check it just to make sure the laser isn't doing anything crazy
and now we're marking the other end and we're gonna run a string
line from there to there and mark all of them
now we're marking the location of the beam on each post so we can then cut an angle from this
with viñas down to the outside so there's no flat part of the post where moisture could
certain eventually rot things away what we're doing here is we're setting up the beam we're
cutting the ends of the beam halfway on posts and then we're going to stitch it all together
as one long beam the full length of the deck and at that point we'll lift it up in place so
these are all Packers that we've ripped on the table saw twelve mil thick you can use plastic
with use timber we're gonna add some DPC and basically it's to keep the support that's going
to be bolted onto the wall it's going to keep it separate from the wall so no moisture will
build up between the wood and the block wall right now we are sitting up a joist here and
we've lived it long deliberately because we want to put a string line right there all the
way to the other end and then that string line will be our guide for every single choice that
way we can cut every joist the same length and the string line will keep them straight damn you
do know you think shop it's day three thicken a bit at the top you have no idea how much better
it's gonna look in real life as great as this picture isn't cool stay three the moment we've
all been waiting for is it Dickie Dickie Dickie Dickie excited about [ __ ] pas-de-calais [ __ ]
well the D playing is going well screw it it down to the Midway and we're doing the
other half now before we close in these last sports I thought I should show you
this part here because we're sitting our joists on top of our stringer it's important to anchor
the joist down with skewed nails and every single one but then every two meters we've
got these sealing tires that help to hold that down and prevent it from lifting in
that direction and they're like I said it every two meters in some cases we double
the mark so there's meant to prevent weight on this size from lifting the joists up on
this side it would never really happen but it's always good to you know be sure of these things
yeah
this is step down it the [ __ ] is done and we did our step here there's a few little
decorative pieces around the outside to do but we can do that another time
but the dick from post to frame to Dickie has done from that to that kind of looks the same
