Victorian Kitchen & Bath Remodel Project

Building Deck Framing Video

Tim Berky and his crew are removing existing cladding from the Queen Anne Victorian to fit the ledger board for the deck tight into the house with an ice and water barrier to protect it against water penetration. A pressure-treated 2-by-10 will be fitted up against the house and hung with joist hangers. An ice and water barrier will actually protect the metal from the corrosive effects of the chemicals used to treat the lumber. Berky and the crew build the first beam by nailing three boards together that are pitched to shed water off the deck and away from the house. The rim joist for the deck rests on the six-by-six posts that serve as deck supports coming up from the concrete piers. Two-by-fours are used as temporary supports as the doublers are built and set to level on the new pressure-treated columns.
