Vlog 4 - Retaining Wall and Deck Board Installation

What happens here

With the retaining wall and patio base completed, the focus shifts back to the deck. The existing deck framing is prepared for inspection, which is scheduled for the next day. The main host discusses the intention to construct stairs next, ensuring they are properly framed. Following the successful framing inspection, the decking material will be installed. The host emphasizes delaying the decking installation until after significant 'dirty' work, like stone spreading, is complete to minimize dust and debris on the finished deck.

Goal: Complete deck framing and prepare for decking installation

Tools and materials

  • Deck Framing Lumber — The structural frame of the deck

What they say

So, we've got our retaining wall in. Uh, we've got our stone almost up to grade. And what we're going to work on next is getting our stairs in there. The reason we wanted to get the retaining wall done, get that grade up was so that we could frame out our stairs on that side. And then we want to jump back onto the deck. So, we have our framing inspection supposed to be tomorrow. So, hopefully uh they actually do come tomorrow and we can start on our decking because I don't want to get all the patio kind of done before we get the deck done because there's just going to be a ton of dust. There's going to be a ton of um you know, debris and all that kind of stuff. So, I want to wait a little bit. >> No one cares about that. Talk about the baby. Oh, >> okay. Baby's doing great. Mom's doing great. I'm doing great. I'm pretty tired, but uh besides that, it's uh it's great. Everything's going good. And um back to work. Again, didn't really sleep much, but uh I'm here. So, I'm going to be kind of bouncing in and out this week and getting back into the swing of things. So Sienna Noel is here and I'm here getting a little tired, but I'm here. So that's what we got going on. We're going to uh jump back onto the deck and hopefully get decking down this week and be able to start working on some of our details like framing out the kitchen. We've got a lot of stuff on top of the deck, built-in bar. We're doing a building couch. We got the fireplace wall. So, uh we'll be getting to all that and uh it's going to start coming together. So, stay tuned.
