I live in Allen Co in norther Indiana. My septic system has that but it has multiple alarms and light. We’re required in this county to have what’s called a “permitted septic system”. Basically, you have to have a permit from the county for your septic system. It has multiple tanks, a pump, a UV light and multiple filters. The county demands that your system is tested on a quarterly basis to make sure that the waste coming out is clean to a certain point. The lights and alarms are for the pump, UV light, filters and waste level. It’s completely overkill. And the initial install cost was $31,500! The testing per year adds up to around $1500

Samurai carpenter put me on the idea of using a half-lap joint for handrail. Cut your pieces to extend past each other 1-2 inches then half lap over the corner post. Glue the joint and screw it to the post. Works best on outside corners.

I've read the comments on many of your videos and have seen that a lot of entry level carpenters are learning from your "Pro Tips", so thought maybe I could add one of my own, even tho I am NOT a professional carpenter. Tip: when retracting your tape measure, always keep your finger in front of the tape slot entrance/exit. Your finger acts as a shock absorber for the blade end of the tape and prevents the blade from snapping off, thus destroying your tape. You guys might think this is Carpentry 101, and it is, but I think a lot of your viewers are likely in that class. Like Eric said, your tape is one of your primary tools and a good one needs to be treated well.

Miter joints open at the heel with redwood and fir, too. so what you do is you compensate ahead of time by opening the toe a bit to being with. When the heel shrinks you pound the two back together. If you use screws that part is easy. And the re-adjustment is so slight you can't notice it anywhere else.

I'm building a deck. 1st time really doing something like this, so I'm pretty amateur. So far I've just done the footings and attached the ledger. I just want to go on record saying that measuring was easy, pouring concrete was easy, cutting things square was easy...but making things plumb and level was HARD. I've probably spent 10x the amount of time just trying to make things plumb and level; like it's really crazy how difficult it has been to make things plumb and level. I am probably doing something wrong, but like if you let Jamie talk for like 1 hour straight about making things plumb and level, I'd literally watch every second of it. Attaching the ledger to the rim joist of my 120 year old house was difficult to make plumb, it was difficult to make the sonotubes plumb and level, it was difficult to make the post-to-footing brackets level. Like for anyone watching these videos and thinking about building a deck, just be prepared that making it level and plumb is going to be your greatest challenge...in life

Having steps of uneven height is not not without danger. When I was very young (around 4 years old), my mother told me to collect my tricycle from the garden as it had started to rain. It was quite heavy for me, and I had to carry it up eight or ten steps. The top step was just a little higher than the others. I tripped and bit my tongue very nearly all the way through. It was a very unpleasant injury and I still have the scar across my tongue. When my adult teeth came through, I had notches across the width of the two upper front ones, which left them weaker. In my 40s, they both broke. This was over 60 years ago.

easy way to figure stair stringers, height divide by 7, ( why 7? cause 7" is the perfect rise) so your 29.5 divide by 7 = 4.2 or 4 risers =7.37 inches .37 " x 16 (why 16? cause we are working with inches not feet) = 5.9 equals 5/16 or round up to 3/8 so we have 7 3/8" then deduct tread thickness from bottom rise.

Typically, you can avoid a “hanger board” by using galvanized straps to hang the stringers to the rim joist BEFORE the finished skirting goes on (and account for the stringer cut accordingly). That foldable ruler is a essentially a “pinch stick”. Take 2 thin strips of wood that have a combined length that is longer than the width-place within the opening, mark the overlap, remove the strips, align the mark, and measure. You’ll get an exact measurement if you don’t own a folding ruler.

11:42 I can't speak for all Aussie wall and floor tilers but 99% of the time we still do a floor mix, you end up shifting the sand like five times before having it the the room you are working. You get really fit really quick I remember being an apprentice and the boss got a shop/commercial job and we were mixing like 5 tonne a day (11023 lb) for a week. Protip: Speaking of tapes sometimes if you are going to be yelling measurements to a helper or you have one tape at a bench and one inside (if you don't wear a belt) and you have two different brands and even sometimes the same brand pull them out and check that they are the same I had one tape that was off by 3mm I kept scratching my head why the shower niche angle was short. I'd hate to do a big set out and be checking for square and that slight difference could cost big $ for a simple mistake.

The other work around for a stair being added to a deck is having a closed-two-side stair where the treads are notched into the stringer (or sitting on blocking or a cut stringer) rather than the stringer being cut and losing the top. Having the stringer stay uncut gives it the strength to be fastened to the deck skirt board without any additional blocking needed. It does change your railing options a little bit but not a lot.

The reason that you would want the railing to come up is that there should be a 1-0 railing extension (flat abve deck) at the top of the rail and one tread depth on an angle to the lower side of the stair. This part of the railing at the bottom is then returned to the gound or an adjacent guardrail. These railing extensions are a requirement to meet many accessibility standards required in projects larger than a single family residence. If this is intended as a rental property than it may also be nice to consider other accessibility guidelines because this could become a liability for the owner.
