Building Simple Deck Pt.2

What happens here

The worker begins installing the composite decking boards on the pre-built wooden frame. This involves placing a board onto the joists and then using an impact driver to drive the screws of the hidden fasteners into the side grooves of the board, attaching it to the joists. The process requires precision to ensure consistent spacing and alignment between boards, as the hidden fasteners also serve as spacers. Each board needs to be firmly seated against the previously installed board before securing.

Goal: Secure initial composite decking boards to the frame.

  • Composite Decking Boards Trex — The primary surface material of the deck
  • Deck Frame — The structural support for the decking boards
  • Hidden Fasteners Hideaway Fastener — Securing the decking boards

No Winchester, Virginia. USA. this is so repetitive. I don't even know if I want to build the deck anymore. Just got to give it the old if you're like, "Hey, this inspired me to build my deck." I'm really sorry. It's fun when you start and it's fun when you finish. The rest of it sucks ass. All right, let's talk building code 206-139, which states that 2x10 lumber floor joist cannot span past 12 ft in total distance with a load bearing greater than 50 FPS. All right. Did all the ladies leave? Okay, fellas. Listen. If your wife, girlfriend, or significant other sends you this DM and saying, "Hey, babe. We should build a deck this summer in their backyard, how fun it would be. It would be so much fun." Maybe her name is Kelly. I don't know. Here's my best piece of advice. Tell her all of this is CGI. It's stage. It's not real. But then here's how you prevent even having that conversation. Leave that DM of this video in your message. Leave it on red. Trust me, it'll save you the drinking problems, the bad backs. You're probably going to say something that you're going to regret, and she's going to be You're welcome. Now, let's get back to our regular scheduled programming. Do you believe in love after love? I can feel the thing inside my sack. I really don't think you're strong enough. No. And that's just without a warm up either. Not even halfway. Here's the problem with me. I'm a hard worker. I'm a hard
