Music sucks

Can we do this same thing if the patio is raised? I live in a house that was built in the early 1960s by my Grandparents. They added a patio on the back of the house that is about 18 in off ground level. The "slab" is about 8 in thick and seems to only be supported around the outside by concrete blocks underneath. We cannot see any further under to see if there is support in the middle. We would like to add a larger deck because this has crazy measurements (it's like a bowling alley). We would like to go over the cement and extend and use composite decking. Can this be done without busting out the cement slab? Also, we live in Illinois, so would have to deal with frost/thaw and heaving. Love the channel! I swear I have bunged everything. LOL! I have a list now. Thank you for any help!

How to build doesnt tell you how to build. lol

Should it matter if all your piers aren’t the same height but they’re still level? As long as your post are all the same height?

What software do you make these drawings in?

I recommend not pouring concrete in flip flops.

How long should you wait before pouring concrete over the footing and into the form for the pier?

How do. you move stairs from a first deck to a 2nd level deck, going up not down? The software keeps moving the first level back to the ground.

This is a great video, thanks for such clear instruction

this guy sounds like robert duncan.

I'm in South Florida, we never have frost here. Anyone know how deep for the footings. Also, is Quikrete a big no no for footings? The Home Depot image for the footings tubes literally has a bag of Quikrete next to it. It's going to be a very light deck just one story. Any help is appreciated!

Call 811 to mark utilities then use the same color paint to mark excavations. What could go wrong

Lose the distracting, obnoxious music

We're in the process of getting our deck replaced, and the contractor just installed helical piles. Pretty amazing and fast system. The machine just screws it into the ground. In our case they go down 12 feet, so they're down to some extremely solid ground. Supposedly, there's zero movement or settling after installation.

Good info but... don't put music Or sales in the actual video.

How do you cover the concrete footings to make it look better

Do your post need to be exactly centered on the footing

This guy could read a story to me and put me to sleep in seconds...it's almost comical how bored he sounds.

Is this able to function on a tablet? Thank u in advance for replying, I sincerely appreciate it.

that computer is way older than 12 years lmao

So this is what Jim Hopper has been up to since moving out of Hawkins.

Finally a frame that actually sits on the posts,not just screwed to it,so many vids with people relying on screws to hold the weight , nice work

What do you call footing when they do the following. Auger out the holes below frost line. Put tube in. Fill 1/2 to 3/4 full of cement. Let cure. Put 6x6 posts in holes with cement, back fill holes with gravel. Notch out 6x6 to hold your beams. Floating footings?

Can this be done for adding a small room like this method?

At 3:00, you show the footing poured, with a piece of rebar protruding, then you put the tube form on top and pour the concrete post. As you're standing on top of the footing when you insert the tube form, I assume you let the footing set up first. For how long?

how will a grown man, go to work wearing fucking flip flops

What is the freeze line there? My regulations say I need to go down 36” here in Olathe KS.

You forgot to put in the post anchor be for the concete dried.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For this house< where is the frost line, because they didn't look very deep.

wasted my time!

Why ruin your home with a ledger board if you have enough posts to make your deck freestanding? According to the International building Code you do not need a building permit or inspection and fees if the deck is less than 200 sq feet, less than 30 inches off the ground is not a required egress door and is self supporting and free standing. Wallpaper and pictures are hung. Decks need to be built from the ground up. Ledger boards are a stupid idea.

Wonderful video! How do I get a drawing for my deck? Thank you & Happy New Year!!

now i am certified youtube deck builder hahahaha

Why does everybody say verify building codes with your local building department. They don't have any published codes on building a deck.

did you pour the footing and then immediately put the sono tube on & then pour that? or does it dry and then its a separate pour?

Not sure how you level the top of the tube when cut all crooked with the saw.

Hey great information, my contractor made the cement footing 12inchs and I need them to 15ich or bigger. The deck is built, how does one adjust for this?. Thanks

How far apart do u need those footings

Mix is so wet you cam literally watch the water run out from under the sonotubes at 3:15

I followed the directions

Stringer attachments in this video is very wrong (at least for Canada) as it allows no movement whatsoever during frost seasons. So come spring time when the ground thaws, the stairs would likely break apart. This is why I use long hinges for mounting. Stairs can hinge up and down with the ground.

Cannot turn the stairs sideways. It crumbled together in a weird way, don't know what design that is supposed to be.

Many, many problems with this software. First of all, there is no place to input exact dimensions of the deck. I have found it next to impossible to get the ELEVATION of the deck correct because I cannot input the actual dimensions. Next, this software does not allow for cantilevers on decks. finally, there is no place to illustrate doors and windows on the house in relationship to the deck so creation of the plan is very tricky. It is good that one can get plans printed out, but how accurate are those plans without the ability to do any of the foregoing things? The Lowe's deck designer is better as far as being user friendly is concerned. This software needs a lot of work.

Nothing like learning from a robot monotone voice using terms he assumes you know. This sucks

I made it too few weeks ago. Want to know how ? just look for Stodoys.

Can you do a video on finding the level more depth in squaring up piers?

The concrete in the tube looks too wet

*Is that dirty water or concrete he’s pouring? When more water is used than the bag says the PSI strength is drastically reduced. He used 5000psi mix but might have 2000psi concrete with how much extra water was added.*

There is something for everyone on Stodoys website.

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.
