Perfect Video, I definitely can do this with confidence!

Good content!

That's the first time I've seen the cement used like that but makes sense. Definitely going to do that on my deck rebuild.
-
It’s all about the details… joist brackets, corner brackets, joist tape , crown on top of all joists
-
Nice video! The haters are hilarious. I do enjoy reading their comments. 😂
-
Awesome work! , Did you use 2x6 or 2x8 joists for this project?
-
Great build. What area are you from? Are you worried about frost heaving it up at all?
-
Really should use joist hangers and joist tape, especially if you're going to be presenting this info to other folks.

I have a dumb question here, but I am very interested in building one of these in my backyard. Will there be enough gap between the boards to allow for rain to fall through? Or do I need to have the deck slant down to help it drain?
-
Will it be possible to move the outer concrete blocks into the 2nd crossboards that way its not showing?
-
Question, I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to construction. I live in Arizona and the winds can be very strong, is this type of deck capable of resisting without being lifted to the skies and ending up in my neighbor's yard? Later I want to install a gazebo and I am a little afraid that it will end badly.

Hello there , I have a question. Why you add the concrete? After that do you need to add water? Thank you very much.

What was the total list of supplies/lumbar you used?

Did you use pressure-treated lumber or just regular unfinished boards?

No blocking in between joists?
