" It. All right so Tim. This is not actually vandalism what we're starting here is to remove. Existing layers of the house where you're gonna be attaching the deck structure. Right that's right we want to go take the rim joists of the deck. Behind these layers right here. We're actually gonna apply an ice and water barrier against the -- boards -- all right let's watch as he strips that off. Now Tim a lot of people start deck construction right. Spacing the ledger away from the house this is kind of the ribbon of the house you're taking a different approach. Right lohr what we're doing is we're putting a ice and water barrier right against the house setting the ledger tight and not this'll stopping close out an area for insects. It'll it'll keep the house totally. Moisture free time as this is an impervious left -- and so. The next thing to attach here will be an actual piece of pressure treated two by ten that's -- which will act as these these the ledger for the deck construction."
" So it's also good idea to apply this to the ledger board itself. You see in a minute. That we're gonna be placing joist hangers onto the ledger board. And because of the nature of the new preservatives in the wood you can get corrosion in your battle even in your galvanized metal so this will prevent that. All right this is going to make a difference. And now the next step is to actually attach it to the house. And we're using these fasteners these ledger lock fasteners -- And the neat thing about these is that they drive right in you don't have to do any pre drilling."
" The -- your mind."
" This is the first of pieces there. -- spiked together to create a being. And were temporarily holding it up just done a -- horse. And now the third. The third member. We'll get nailed on to create this traveler. Where you want me. And we still just have it temporarily held up on the sawhorse down here. So using the big level we can establish the pitch so that when the deck is all covered up water. Just sheds off of it and the bottom of wired Joyce's at thirty and so we're now gonna cut one of our six by six at thirty."
" where. The double her then on the outside. Are particular to trip where is really the backbone of this deck and which you've got over here especially when you're building things you you. Get away with using -- two -- the dead man temporarily but what you which is seeing is the positioning of the 36 by six posts onto the concrete blocks and these kiosks. Building up of a doubt we're here with another second one here eventually this gets trimmed out in one buys stocks but we're gonna do next is -- all the joists in this quadrant of the deck."
" And all of these is being toe nailed. But there are the real support will be hangers."
