HOW TO BUILD A DECK part 1: Pour footers and framing #shorts #construction #diy #contractor

I wonder if you can tell me how you deal with a footer on an existing structure that is sinking?

U do a great job…. When I was building decks for a guy, he never went that far

So, does anyone ever encounter having to get permits? I usually come across the "how to build" but not the before process.

Nice! Do folks sit joists on top of the beams much anymore?

May I have purchase your plans to this?

Man this is beautiful!!

I don’t know if I love or hate yer square-on-hole.
It looks like it would pass inspection easier if you miss dug but it also defeats the purpose of loading the post correctly over the footer if you miss measured.
Does this pass code where you are?

Concrete needs to be straight up and down on the sides if in a area that freezes, the square top will bust if ground freezes. If it doesnt bust the hole concrete footer will frost heave.

Toe stubber!!! Buy a $5 string line next time.

How NOT to build a footer! That extra square on top will catch the freeze/thaw and heave the whole footer out of the ground. Just keep it in a sonotube and do it right!

Looks like you suck at measuring the footings lol must be why you make the giant square hoping the post will land on it somewhere

rebar?

No sonotube or wee bit of rebar?

Ouch. Diy videos are bad for humanity

I wonder if this would work for fencing

How to NOT make / prepare footings

I like to just start with a bunch of cribbing (scraps of 4x4, 2x4, 2x6, etc.) laid on the ground and keep building it up till it's at the height I want it.

I don’t have decks where I live why all the duct tape?

Don't do this. Frost heave will lift up the footing.

That concrete definitely looks like it's more than a 4" slump. Are you running super plasticizers?

Hope this area never gets frost

Lmao if its up north, then the frost will push it up. Amateur

Messed up the most critical first step. Sono tube and get rid of the square top ro the footing.

Did you paint or wrap the cut end of the 6x6

Dirty south vibes. This would fail in one freezing winter.

The square hole :)

How come posts aren’t centered on the footers?

I know a newbie when I see one

What a horrible song

Is there a reason you want to put the footers off-center in/of the concrete?

🎉

We are a manufacturer for deck joist tape.

Bravo 👏 when are you required to add additional post, how many will you need for a 16x16 deck?

Beautiful work 👏

Is there a frost line

Is that 2x6 or 2x8?

Real question: Are you or are you not suppose to attach that back rim joist to the home or structure? I've seen it done both ways, but I thought it was best not to?

How not to build beams. Not supposed to notch them - it's against code now.

Step 1: build a deck

I'd rather just level out the land and then add deck blocks for the foundation.

Is the membrane used on untreated wood or doesn’t matter?

What is the black stuff on top of

lmao those footings. shit gonna crack in a year or so😂😂😂

Hey you only double the long side right with 2 , 2x8’s and the shout side just one right?

Muy grande la base de cemento, muy exagerado.....con la área de la base por 3 es más que suficiente y no la base por 12aprox.

GOOD 👍 I like Jump

Still nailing joist hangers? Old school. Use screws.

FK me 😂

Yo wtf are those forms? 😂 Thats only good for foot paths and the way you made them, wouldn't even pass for a foot path 😂😂 id bet theis house had problems before the shingles went up 😂
