In this project Jeff tackles a weekend deck project. The plan: to salvage the existing frame from an old deck, re-structure, and lay new boards, skirts and rails. This project enables the homeowner to save a lot of money! In this project we used cedar for the purpose of the video; however, using pressure treated will work just as well and cost a lot less. So start saving and start building it! An it’s only going to take you a weekend!

You are by far my fav contractor on YouTube, I would love that you make enough revenue online to keep making all these videos. Please become a amazon partner site…. to maximize your revenue online. I’d buy anything you recommend, if you link to an amazon partner link… I’d totally support you.
Question for you please. As far as I remember you said always use brown screw but for the wall you used blue one. Any reason?or did I miss any hint in the video?
Thanks 😊
Jeff,
I'm buying a 58 year old house. Have not closed yet. I will Have a long line of questions. To upgrade and update the house.
No snow gap under the bottom rail? (So that you can shovel snow under the rail)
SAFETY GLASSES…… wear them
As always, nice educative video!
The only thing that screw did on that upper left bracket was bend the holy smokes out of that nice bracket.
Oh…switch to metric!!!!! ;-}
Have you done anything with the Trex decking?
Only one thing missing, where is the cooler full of beer
Can you end the series with a bit on how to sand and stain a deck?
Where would a person in Texas be able to acquire the rail system?
Great attention to details. I like the extra touches on the five quarter boards.
Mr.Thorman you wizard you king you clever man you super man very neat work 👍 👍you jounous you lion king of creativeness cheers
i think people get confused on the difference between brick mortar & concrete
If the deck settles or lifts while the building doesn't, won't that mess with your stair rail that was attached to the brick wall?
Great video. Thanks
Good job 👍
Can you do a video on water heater uninstall/ new installation please
Hope you noticed that to screw for side railing actually went between bricks to the mortar.
Love these videos!
How many videos in this series? Looking forward to the steps portion.
Thanks for your information.
U really had me on the rails..lolol..great looking deck maxx…great job Reno Ninja
Great video as usual! Curious though, you're in Canada where they use the metric system (to my knowledge anyway). Why do you always seem to measure things in imperial? It seems so much more difficult and less precise to say "49 and 3/8", minus 1/2" equals 48 and 7/8"", instead of like "1200 minus 15 equals 1185mm".
Thanks Jeff , nice work . Thank You for the video .
I swear YouTube and Facebook reads my mind…I was thinking about building a porch railing because we are defacing our house partially with shiplap and here you are in my notification before I even searched ….something strange is going on….by the way I love your videos ..keep up the good work
