" Well it's been six months since we began the work here which was originally just a basement room refinishing project that grew to include. Finding more space for a growing family were doing backyard doing repairs to the house and we're standing on one of them right now the front porch the front entrance of the house. Nice wooden deck system that needed to be repaired. And not just the decking but also the structure underneath eighty year old timbers many of which were rotted or insect damaged so we've done that and now we're looking at the finished product which is. -- tropical product from everlasting Hardwoods which. Is a renewable product and I think one of the best choices for outdoor decking even though. Traditionally some people don't like to work with a because you have to sometimes drill it. Doesn't nail easily we're using tiger claw a system for installing the wood without any kind of face nailing obvious which keeps the beauty of the wood right out there. Take a look and we'll see how these her. How these are attached."

" What we're using today is a hidden deck fastening system. From tiger claw. And this particular fastener here that we're using. Is made for extreme dense materials. Like the -- that we're putting down today. The fastener is very simple to use you could see it attaches to the edge of the board. And then a screw is installed through the fastener down into the joist. How it works is a fastener holds the board and then a screw holes of fastener down legacy we've driven. Take a look at the fastener. All stainless steel. With a black oxide coating on them. And what the reason for the coating is it helps it to hide very nicely in the seams of the deck so you don't see even when you look down into the seams. Now. The every. Every retail package of fasteners. -- through an installation tool. Obviously -- tool is very simple black simply insert the fastener into the tool. And sit it right on your joist. Now that helps you to install the fastener nice and even just the right height and nice and square. Now you see. -- apply a little pressure to the top of the board with my foot. With a little tab. Fastener nicely goes right into the edge of the board. And I take. My stainless steel screw. Also with a black oxide coating. I just pop it in at a 45 degree angle. And that's it to -- Once you install a fastener. At each joist. He simply take your next board. You slide it into place. Using a hammer board. Any small sledgehammer. This simply. Get a little tap. And the board goes right after the fasten. Once you get it in place. Simply set. Another fastener. And another screw. And you continue on -- that same installation process. I'm gonna work my way down. Hitting one time at each joist. Any more than that can make your installation more difficult. Just -- once and move right along. You can see I'm getting around. The perfect spacing. Automatic spacing as -- move that. And our board is installed and I simply start that process all over again. Until they reach the end of my deck."

" So what are the other things about."
