www.HomeRenovisionDIY.comIn 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!

They built my deck with nails, not screws. The boards are now coming up.

Henry Wilkes says:

After 15 years it would eventually get un level .

Augustus Sinclair says:

The thumbnail looked like a concrete floor from Fallout 4's settlement building.

marax says:

isnt it easier to put concrete and make nice tiles or mosaic ?

Jonathan Collins says:

Stop bitching and do your job.

Chris Vance says:

Head over to http://www.railsdirect.co.uk for some balustrade to finish that off perfectly!

Jessewinz says:

sick dad shoes. sick video

Bigbacon says:

least they used screws. Nails make getting the boards off so much labor intensive.

R Cherry says:

About 9 years ago I bought "above ground" treated wood for a dock and a deck. I've been replacing rotten boards a while now. You have to get "ground contact " treated and my local lowes doesn't sell ground contact 2×4 or 2x6s so I drive way cross town to home depot. You MUST read the tag on the end of every board delivered. If it's treated for "above ground " send it back or you'll be sorry.

Natasha Gorecki says:

We have to do this with the deck on our new house, unfortunately our deck was put in with nails! Any advice on that, or just crow bar until they are all out….

M Cunningham says:

Thank you for your videos. You make diy fun again. You are such a great teacher!

tim storment says:

I’d be using a Burke bar real quickkk

David Macaskill says:

I'm actually in the middle of this exact project. I have two questions. Like you I'm replacing all the distressed wood including the rails, but the under-structure is solid. A section of rail is a 2×10 bottom + 2×4 top + balusters , and it sits on a skirt board and mounts flush with the outside of the deck – so not on top. First, is there a clever way of re-building these rail sections (because whatever I'm doing is not clever)? Second – when I mount a new rail section the rails are never perfectly perpendicular, even though its flush with the deck. If I set them perpendicular there are gaps where organic material can collect, which I want to avoid. Whats the trick here? Thanks in advance. Oh a third question – if you cut pressure treated wood you get a snow white face. Does that need to be treated before laying the board? Apparently no one does. I ask only because the rest of the board is brick-red. Thanks again!

Is the ledger attached to brick veneer?
We are planning to redo our deck and will probably be starting from scratch because of it.

Ken&Rave says:

Please do one on a patio or firepit

Donnie Minard says:

Wow Jeff this looks like a rebuild
It looks to me like a classic crown upside down technique
I stress to all my new apprentices the importance of placement of lumber correctly.
Take the time to look at material
As always another great video have fun and work safe

Youbones says:

Just bought a house, been watching your videos because it's a complete gut. Do you have anything on fixing joists? Previous owners cut through them and I need to know the best way to fix that. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, love you videos and shout out from Toronto.

Alan says:

Can't find part 2

Sidney Mathious says:

I have to build a small porch at the back door of my house and have to remember the tip on the size screws to be used to build it. The deck you are working on seem to be in need of the top boards badly, and the boards below seem to be better and wish you all the best in getting that fixed.

Andrew Martinek says:

Quick questions, My guess is that you are going to add some posts through out the middle of the deck to help lift it to being level, and to give support throughout the whole deck correct? Would you then power wash the old support boards, and then reseal it to help make the boards last longer? I hope I don't come off as offensive, just trying to gauge how green I am to renovation projects. Thanks for your reply!

Anway, thank you for the videos! I am learning a lot and hope to continue doing so.
Cheers!

Angel Roubert says:

Jeff! Always making me laugh! Your personality and the way you explain everything, the best. Thanks for teaching me a lot of things!

Max Lo says:

Can't wait for the part 2. Keep it going Jeff.

Serge. Crispino says:

I would not be putting a moisture barrier down underneath a deck that is outside. What You have done is actually worse than having no barrier or no drainage or no ventilation. Rain water needs to soak into the ground or diverted away from the house.I would fashion an incline away from the house and if You are still concerned then dress it with some aggregate.
