Following the window installation, the focus shifts to the upper level of the shed, where workers are installing the subflooring. This involves laying large sheets of plywood or Oriented Strand Board (OSB) onto the floor joists. The process typically starts by measuring the area and cutting the subfloor panels to the required dimensions using a circular saw. Construction adhesive is often applied to the top of the floor joists before the panels are laid down; this helps bond the subfloor to the joists, reducing squeaks and increasing the floor's rigidity. Once positioned, the panels are then securely fastened to the joists using subfloor screws or nails, driven in with a drill/impact driver or nail gun, respectively. Workers ensure adequate spacing between panels for expansion and contraction. The completed subfloor provides a stable and level base for any subsequent finished flooring materials. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vy_yd3psL6s 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-deck-aint-ground-level-its-groundbreaking-framing-lumber-deck-v1230132 2026-10-22T19:33:53.321Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ks4IWjXPhBM/hqdefault.jpg This deck ain’t ground level, it’s GROUNDBREAKING 😮‍💨 #framing #lumber #deck #deckdesign #framers This project provides a visual guide on constructing a robust wooden deck frame.

The video shows starting with a full 5 1/2-inch wide board. Utilize Decorators Stealthlock hidden fasteners, which incorporate both a spacer and a screw, to securely attach the boards from the sides, creating a clean, screw-free surface. Drive the specialized screws through the clips into the joists using a DeWalt impact driver, making sure not to overtighten. For sections where boards need to be cut or notched (e.g., around posts or for picture framing), use a DeWalt table saw or Makita jigsaw for precise cuts. Periodically use a Camo Lever decking board straightening tool to nudge slightly warped boards into alignment before fastening. The importance of planning the decking pattern, especially where boards meet the house or other structural elements, is highlighted. Any irregular-sized pieces or rips should ideally be placed in less noticeable areas or where they blend with other features (like a future bar top). Use yellow T-spacers to ensure consistent 1/8-inch gaps between boards. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jLh66ExHCGA 106 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-custom-deck-with-a-swinging-chair-arch-v1230157/install-and-drill-cable-railing-posts-c3714840 2026-10-22T22:58:26.529Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jLh66ExHCGA/hqdefault.jpg Install and Drill Cable Railing Posts — Building a Custom Deck with a Swinging Chair Arch! Prepare the structural posts for the cable railing system. These posts are made of composite-clad 6x6 lumber. Using an intermediate spacer (which has pre-drilled holes matching the cable spacing) as a template, mark the precise locations for drilling on the posts. For highly accurate 90-degree holes, use a specialized drill guide (Drillblock) to start the holes. Once a pilot hole is established, use a long drill bit to bore completely through the posts. The presenter demonstrates adjusting the DeWalt drill's torque settings to avoid over-tightening and listening for a specific sound when the screw bottoms out. Troubleshooting for misaligned holes is also shown, suggesting methods to ensure the cable can pass through smoothly by re-drilling or slightly enlarging. The presenter emphasizes that for custom projects, using blank posts and drilling them on-site allows for greater flexibility compared to pre-drilled posts. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jLh66ExHCGA 259 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-custom-deck-with-a-swinging-chair-arch-v1230157/install-cable-railing-c3714842 2026-10-22T22:58:26.529Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jLh66ExHCGA/hqdefault.jpg Install Cable Railing — Building a Custom Deck with a Swinging Chair Arch! This step details the final installation of the cable railing system. First, insert plastic plugs into the exterior holes of the posts to protect the cable and provide a clean finish. Then, carefully feed the stainless steel cables through all the pre-drilled holes in the posts. For one end of each cable, attach a specialized terminal fitting (e.g., a push-lock or swage fitting). The presenter demonstrates a push-lock fitting that simply slides onto the cable and locks, preventing it from pulling back. Once all cables are threaded and one end is securely attached, install tensioning mechanisms (turnbuckles or similar) to the other end of each cable. Use an appropriate wrench or tool to gradually tighten each cable until the desired tension is achieved, ensuring the railing meets safety standards and is taut. Finally, use heavy-duty cable cutters to trim any excess cable flush with the fittings for a clean, professional look. The goal is to achieve a continuous cable run without intermediate terminations, wrapping around corners for a seamless appearance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jLh66ExHCGA 140 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-custom-deck-with-a-swinging-chair-arch-v1230157/precise-decking-installation-and-spacing-c3714846 2026-10-22T22:58:26.529Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jLh66ExHCGA/hqdefault.jpg Precise Decking Installation and Spacing — Building a Custom Deck with a Swinging Chair Arch! This step covers the detailed process of installing the main composite decking boards with hidden fasteners, maintaining consistent spacing, and making precise adjustments. First, use a framing square to mark the position for the first board, ensuring it is perpendicular to the structure. Place the Decorators Stealthlock clips, which include a built-in spacer and a screw, into the grooves of the decking boards. Align the board and drive the screw through the clip into the deck joist using a DeWalt impact driver. The presenter emphasizes listening for the distinct bottom-out sound of the clutch to avoid overtightening. To maintain consistent 1/8-inch gaps between boards, use yellow T-spacers.

Apply a layer of tile mortar to a section of the fire pit's exterior using a trowel. Firmly press the prepared mosaic tiles into the mortar, following your pre-planned pattern. Ensure there's a consistent gap between tiles for grouting. Continue this process around the entire circumference of the fire pit. Once all tiles are set and the mortar has dried (usually 24 hours), mix and apply grout to fill the spaces between the tiles using a grout float. Work the grout into all the crevices. After the grout has slightly set, use a damp sponge to wipe away any excess grout from the tile faces, revealing the clean mosaic pattern.

This additive is used because the concrete is poured into a sealed formwork with a plywood bottom, meaning water cannot seep into the ground. The water reducer is intended to help the concrete flow more easily and set faster, compensating for the lack of natural drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5eAvWWkjY0 81 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/concrete-countertops-lessons-were-learned-v1230173/pouring-vibrating-and-finishing-first-attempt-failed-c3714685 2026-10-22T22:41:06.561Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U5eAvWWkjY0/hqdefault.jpg Pouring, Vibrating, and Finishing (First Attempt - Failed) — CONCRETE COUNTERTOPS - Lessons Were Lea After mixing, the concrete is poured into the formwork. To ensure no air pockets remain, a concrete vibrator is used. The vibrator is inserted into the wet concrete, causing it to liquefy temporarily and release trapped air. After vibrating, the edges of the formwork are sealed with caulk to prevent any concrete leakage. The surface is then smoothed using a hand float to achieve a relatively even finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5eAvWWkjY0 119 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/concrete-countertops-lessons-were-learned-v1230173/concrete-removal-and-second-pour-preparation-c3714688 2026-10-22T22:41:06.561Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U5eAvWWkjY0/hqdefault.jpg Concrete Removal and Second Pour Preparation — CONCRETE COUNTERTOPS - Lessons Were Learned! Upon inspection the next day, the first concrete pour had failed to harden properly and was crumbly. The entire slab is broken up and removed from the formwork. For the second attempt, the concrete mix is adjusted: no flow control additive is used, and a rebar grid is again placed, ensuring proper elevation with spacers.

Press the trowel firmly against the back of the paver edging, compacting the wet concrete and creating a strong, angled buttress. The ideal angle for this buttress is typically around 45 degrees, tapering smoothly from the top of the paver down to the ground level or slightly below. As you shape, smooth out any inconsistencies on the surface of the concrete for a clean, professional, and uniform appearance. This concrete buttress, once cured, will permanently hold the pavers in their desired position, preventing lateral movement and maintaining the integrity of the border. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ogwktHj_nOg 24 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/loving-this-sleek-look-what-do-you-thinkdeck-deckdesign-designandbuild-v1230183 2026-10-22T19:40:24.682Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9deAkbsPZns/hqdefault.jpg Loving this sleek look!

What do you think?!..#deck #deckdesign #desig Begin by accurately marking the placement for each hinge on the wooden planks. Use a speed square and pencil to draw a precise reference line across the plank where the hinge will sit. Position one of the metal hinges against this reference line and carefully trace its exact outline onto the wood surface with the pencil. Once the outline is marked, use a utility knife or a sharp chisel to deeply score along these pencil lines. This scoring step is crucial as it helps to prevent the wood from tearing out or splintering when the router bit cuts across the grain. Next, using a router equipped with an appropriate straight router bit (typically one matching the thickness of the hinge), carefully rout out the marked areas to create a clean, flat recess. The depth of the recess should allow the hinge to sit perfectly flush with the wood surface. Repeat this precise marking, scoring, and routing process for all hinge locations on all the wooden planks that will form the panel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9deAkbsPZns 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/loving-this-sleek-look-what-do-you-thinkdeck-deckdesign-designandbuild-v1230183/attach-hinges-to-planks-c3587086 2026-10-22T19:40:24.682Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9deAkbsPZns/hqdefault.jpg Attach Hinges to Planks — Loving this sleek look! What do you think?!..#deck #deckdesign #designandb With the hinge recesses accurately routed into the wooden planks, the next step is to securely attach the metal hinges. Carefully place each hinge into its corresponding routed recess on the wooden plank, ensuring it sits perfectly flush with the surface of the wood. Using a drill equipped with a small drill bit (a pilot bit), pre-drill pilot holes through each of the hinge's screw holes. It's important that the pilot bit is slightly smaller in diameter than the shank of the screw to ensure a strong grip without splitting the wood. Once all pilot holes are drilled for a hinge, switch the drill bit to a compatible screwdriver bit. Then, drive the screws firmly through the hinge and into the pre-drilled pilot holes, securing the hinge tightly to the plank. Repeat this process for all hinges on all planks, ensuring that the planks are correctly oriented and connected in sequence to form the complete slatted panel assembly as intended. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9deAkbsPZns 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/loving-this-sleek-look-what-do-you-thinkdeck-deckdesign-designandbuild-v1230183/install-slatted-wood-panel-c3587087 2026-10-22T19:40:24.682Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9deAkbsPZns/hqdefault.jpg Install Slatted Wood Panel — Loving this sleek look!

To achieve a custom, finished look for structural posts and beams, composite deck boards are cut to wrap around them. For a post, boards are cut to 5.5 inches for the front and back faces, and 7.25 inches for the side faces. For beams (e.g., a 14-inch beam), two boards are used, with 1/4 inch trimmed from the rounded edge of each board to allow for a tight, continuous appearance when butted together. This precision cutting eliminates gaps and ensures a smooth, aesthetic transition. https://www.youtube.com/embed/O7ORK-XalnA 136 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/installing-decking-cutting-in-borders-and-framing-up-a-fireplace-v1230195/ensure-deck-board-alignment-c1807174 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O7ORK-XalnA/hqdefault.jpg Ensure Deck Board Alignment — Installing Decking, Cutting in Borders, and Framing up a Fireplace! Maintaining straight deck board runs is crucial for a professional finish. After installing several rows of field boards, check for any deviations from a straight line using a measuring tape. If a slight deviation (e.g., 1/4 inch) is detected, carefully adjust subsequent boards by 'cheating' them over incrementally. This prevents small errors from compounding into noticeable waves or gaps in the decking. Regularly measuring the width of the installed boards at different points ensures consistency. https://www.youtube.com/embed/O7ORK-XalnA 97 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/installing-decking-cutting-in-borders-and-framing-up-a-fireplace-v1230195/mark-and-cut-angled-border-c1807175 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O7ORK-XalnA/hqdefault.jpg Mark and Cut Angled Border — Installing Decking, Cutting in Borders, and Framing up a Fireplace!

Ensure the ground has been roughly excavated to the approximate depth required for your project's base materials. Then, strategically place adjustable metal leveling stakes, also known as screed guides, at regular intervals along the length of your work area. These stakes typically have a flat top surface and a threaded shaft that allows for height adjustments. One person positions a long spirit level across two of these stakes. The other person observes the bubble on the spirit level to determine if the stakes are at the same elevation. If the bubble indicates an uneven surface (not centered), the second person then adjusts the height of one of the stakes by rotating its top mechanism. This action raises or lowers the stake until the spirit level indicates a perfectly level or desired graded position. This process is repeated systematically along the entire length of the trench to create a series of precisely set guides that will serve as reference points for screeding your base material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-GXGKwUKEko 22 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/nothing-better-than-a-tight-frame-v1230210 2026-10-22T19:38:22.988Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P_Sqw9NkDOc/hqdefault.jpg Nothing better than a tight frame 🔥 This video showcases the process of constructing the foundational framework for a large outdoor deck.

The process includes attaching fascia boards to the rafter tails, constructing the soffit framing (lookouts) to support the soffit panels, and finally installing the soffit panels themselves to create a finished and protective eave structure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4m-Fv14nNY 59 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/eyebrows-on-fleek-or-whatever-the-kids-are-saying-these-daysbuild-v1230224/install-fascia-boards-c3584331 2026-10-22T19:32:45.273Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F4m-Fv14nNY/hqdefault.jpg Install Fascia Boards — Eyebrows on fleek 🤨… or whatever the kids are saying these days…..#build #s The project begins with the exterior wall sheathing and roof structure already in place, typically covered with house wrap (like Tyvek HomeWrap) and roof underlayment. The initial step involves installing the fascia boards, which are long pieces of lumber (usually 1x or 2x material) that are nailed to the ends of the roof rafters. These boards run along the perimeter of the roof edge, creating a smooth, finished surface to which gutters and drip edge will eventually attach. Ensure the fascia boards are cut to the correct length and are flush with the top edge of the rafter tails. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4m-Fv14nNY 15 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/eyebrows-on-fleek-or-whatever-the-kids-are-saying-these-daysbuild-v1230224/install-soffit-framing-lookouts-c3584332 2026-10-22T19:32:45.273Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F4m-Fv14nNY/hqdefault.jpg Install Soffit Framing (Lookouts) — Eyebrows on fleek 🤨… or whatever the kids are saying these days After the fascia boards are securely installed, the next step is to create the framework for the soffit. This involves installing horizontal pieces of lumber, often called 'soffit lookouts' or blocking, which extend from the wall framing (or a ledger board attached to the wall) to the inside face of the fascia board. These lookouts provide the necessary nailing surface for the soffit panels and ensure the soffit is level and properly sloped (if desired for drainage). They are typically spaced 16 to 24 inches on center. Use a level to ensure consistency. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4m-Fv14nNY 14 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/eyebrows-on-fleek-or-whatever-the-kids-are-saying-these-daysbuild-v1230224/install-soffit-panels-c3584333 2026-10-22T19:32:45.273Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F4m-Fv14nNY/hqdefault.jpg Install Soffit Panels — Eyebrows on fleek 🤨… or whatever the kids are saying these days…..#build #s With the soffit framing complete, the soffit panels can now be installed. The video shows workers installing solid-looking panels, which could be wood, vinyl, or aluminum. If using vinyl or aluminum soffit, J-channels or F-channels are typically installed along the wall and sometimes along the fascia to receive the edges of the soffit panels. The panels are then cut to length, inserted into the channels, and fastened to the soffit lookouts. Ensure any ventilation requirements for the attic are met by using perforated soffit panels where necessary. Work systematically across the eaves, ensuring each panel is fully seated and securely fastened. https://www.youtube.com/embed/F4m-Fv14nNY 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/what-do-you-call-this-cool-little-tool-its-begging-for-a-nickname-v1230225 2026-10-22T19:41:06.727Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ASGiD-uOnH8/hqdefault.jpg What do you call this cool little tool?

This is the main task of creating the subfloor. Workers systematically lay down large sheets of plywood. They begin by measuring the area and marking the plywood for precise cuts using a pencil and tape measure. A circular saw is used to cut the plywood to fit around existing structures or to create the correct length/width for the runs. After cutting, construction adhesive is applied in a wavy bead along the top of the floor joists where the plywood will sit. The plywood sheet is then carefully placed onto the joists, ensuring tongue-and-groove edges (if applicable) interlock properly and that seams fall on joist centers. Finally, the plywood is fastened to the joists using a nail gun or an impact driver with subfloor screws, spaced according to building codes (typically every 6 inches at edges and every 12 inches in the field). The process is repeated until the entire floor area is covered. https://www.youtube.com/embed/64bvPuBNJtU 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/whats-your-favorite-interesting-feature-of-your-workshop-v1230230/final-inspection-and-overview-c3586599 2026-10-22T19:39:28.614Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/64bvPuBNJtU/hqdefault.jpg Final Inspection and Overview — Whats your favorite interesting feature of your workshop??

Workers use a power buggy, a motorized wheelbarrow, to transport concrete from the mixer's chute to various sections of the foundation. Other crew members spread the concrete evenly within the forms using rakes and shovels. A worker operates a power screed, a motorized tool that vibrates and levels the concrete across the width of the slab, guided by the perimeter formwork and internal grade stakes (referred to as 'wet pads'). This process ensures the concrete achieves the correct elevation and initial flatness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q9C89NbN44M 275 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-the-premier-dream-shop-part-1-v1230238/concrete-mix-and-final-finishing-c1811847 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q9C89NbN44M/hqdefault.jpg Concrete Mix and Final Finishing — Building The Premier Dream Shop - Part 1 The concrete crew explains critical aspects of the pouring process: the robust formwork, braced with surrounding dirt, is essential to withstand the immense pressure of 58 cubic yards of concrete and prevent 'blowouts.' They highlight the importance of accuracy in setting grade stakes ('wet pads') to guide the power screed and vibratory screed for a precise slab height. Additionally, they discuss the use of a mid-range water reducer in the concrete mix. This additive reduces the water-to-cement ratio, improving concrete strength and workability, and helps draw 'bleed water' (excess water that rises to the surface) out of the mix, which is particularly useful when pouring over a vapor barrier. Following the initial leveling, workers use hand floats to smooth the edges and surface. Finally, walk-behind power trowels (power floats) are used to achieve a dense, smooth, and durable finish on the concrete slab. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q9C89NbN44M 290 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/ufp-edge-ceiling-install-v1230240 2026-10-22T19:34:15.749Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cSTLupmX7go/hqdefault.jpg UFP Edge Ceiling Install This project details the comprehensive process of installing a wood plank ceiling for an outdoor porch or patio.

As he speaks, a highly efficient process of helical pile installation is shown in the background. A mini-excavator, outfitted with a specialized hydraulic auger attachment, is actively driving galvanized steel helical piles deep into the ground alongside a residential building. These robust piles are being installed to serve as a critical foundation element for an upcoming structural frame, likely a deck or extension. Throughout this visual demonstration of precision installation, the presenter elaborates on the strategic advantages of subcontracting this specialized task to a company like GoliathTech. He outlines two primary reasons: 1. **Avoidance of Capital Investment and Expertise:** His company does not need to invest in expensive, specialized machinery required for pile installation, nor do they need to acquire or maintain the specific expertise and training required to operate such equipment safely and effectively. 2. **Engineering and Permitting Compliance:** The subcontractor employs licensed engineers who are responsible for precisely specifying each helical pile. This involves calculating the exact torque required for each pile based on the anticipated load it will bear, ensuring optimal structural integrity and safety. Furthermore, these engineers provide stamped reports verifying the installation parameters and load capacities, which are essential documents for submission to local township authorities to obtain necessary building permits and ensure compliance with building codes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nKNzvDAWXJs 25 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-massive-deck-part-7-deck-hatch-and-deck-ceiling-install-v1230249 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bj-rFP-qOcg/hqdefault.jpg Building A MASSIVE Deck Part 7 - Deck Hatch and Deck Ceiling Install This video showcases advanced techniques for constructing a multi-functional outdoor living space, including the installation of a standing seam metal roof, building an outdoor kitchen with tile finishes, integrating a hot tub, and most notably, creating a custom, piston-assisted egress hatch within a composite deck.

This action reveals a robust, custom-fabricated cover mechanism specifically designed for an egress window well situated directly underneath the deck. The cover itself is structurally sound, constructed using pressure-treated lumber for its frame to ensure durability and resistance to outdoor elements, and is faced with deck boards that perfectly match the adjacent decking. A critical safety and operational feature demonstrated is the incorporation of two gas pistons (also commonly known as gas struts or lift supports), which are strategically mounted on opposing sides of the hinged cover. These pistons provide significant assistance during the lifting process, making the heavy deck section easy to open, and, most importantly, they securely hold the cover in the fully open position. This design ensures that the egress window well remains reliably accessible for emergency escapes, mitigating any risk of the cover unexpectedly closing or falling back down. The individual in the video explicitly confirms its purpose as an "egress window in case of an emergency" and declares it "good to go," confidently emphasizing the safety, functionality, and thoughtful integration of this solution into the deck design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-8jJWzGcuQ 18 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/slingin-some-ufpedge-you-know-on-this-huge-span-its-going-to-look-v1230253 2026-10-22T19:28:33.544Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wRHOIbXswOI/hqdefault.jpg Slingin’ some @ufpedge !!!

As seen in the video, several pieces of wood are laid out and likely secured to a workbench or sawhorse. This arrangement functions as a custom jig. Position the main composite board you intend to bend on this jig. The jig should ensure that the composite board is held securely and provides a straight edge for the router's base to follow, guaranteeing a consistent V-groove cut. The V-groove will be cut on the backside of the material where the bend will occur. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZP7wKBbfBbc 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/nothing-like-using-a-heat-gun-on-a-100-degree-day-build-deckdesign-v1230264/rout-the-vgroove-c3587215 2026-10-22T19:44:41.533Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZP7wKBbfBbc/hqdefault.jpg Rout the V-Groove — Nothing like using a heat gun on a 100 degree day! 🤣 #build #deckdesign #carpen With the routing jig in place, position your composite decking or trim board onto the jig, ensuring it's properly aligned for the V-groove cut. Use a plunge router equipped with a V-groove router bit. Carefully set the depth of the V-groove bit; it should remove most of the material from the backside of the composite board, leaving only a thin layer (approximately 1/8 to 1/16 inch) on the front face. This thin layer will act as the hinge point for the bend. Slowly and steadily guide the router along the intended bend line, making a clean V-shaped channel. Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from debris. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZP7wKBbfBbc 7 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/nothing-like-using-a-heat-gun-on-a-100-degree-day-build-deckdesign-v1230264/heat-and-form-the-corner-c3587217 2026-10-22T19:44:41.533Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZP7wKBbfBbc/hqdefault.jpg Heat and Form the Corner — Nothing like using a heat gun on a 100 degree day! 🤣 #build #deckdesign Once the V-groove is routed, the composite material is ready for bending. Position the composite board on a stable surface, ideally with the V-groove facing upwards, allowing direct access for heating. Using a heat gun, apply steady, even heat directly into and along the V-groove. Keep the heat gun moving constantly to prevent scorching or overheating any single spot. As the material heats, it will become pliable. Once it reaches the desired flexibility, gently apply pressure to bend the board along the V-groove until the desired corner angle (typically 90 degrees) is achieved. Hold the bent piece firmly in position, perhaps against a square or a pre-made corner jig, until it cools down and solidifies in its new shape. This cooling process is crucial for the material to retain its form. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZP7wKBbfBbc 23 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-massive-deck-part-5-installing-deck-boards-v1230265 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FjGWH8GXuxY/hqdefault.jpg Building a MASSIVE Deck Part 5 - Installing Deck Boards This project details the construction of an expansive outdoor deck, including tiered stairs and a custom-built hot tub surround.

What else can we say!..@nicolockpaving #har First, use a tape measure to determine the maximum width of the gap between the last installed paver and the boulder. In the video, this measurement is shown to be approximately 2 to 2.5 inches. This measurement serves as an offset. Then, take a paver that needs to be cut and place it next to the last full paver, as close to the boulder as possible. Using a small piece of stone or a dedicated scribe tool, hold it against the irregular edge of the boulder. Simultaneously, hold a metal straight edge (or a pencil against the scribe tool) against the paver, maintaining the measured offset distance. Drag the scribe tool along the boulder's edge, allowing the straight edge/pencil to mark the exact contour onto the paver. This creates a custom cut line that mirrors the boulder's shape. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4RgtZPIpICM 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-mans-an-artist-what-else-can-we-saynicolockpaving-hardscape-v1230300/cut-the-marked-paver-c3583919 2026-10-22T19:28:52.026Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4RgtZPIpICM/hqdefault.jpg Cut the Marked Paver — The man’s an artist!!

Place the paver on a stable surface, such as a wooden plank or sawhorse, ensuring it is securely supported. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection (as demonstrated by the worker). Use a power cutter, such as the Milwaukee cut-off saw shown, equipped with a diamond blade. Carefully align the blade with the scribed line and make the cut. For intricate or thicker cuts, it may be necessary to make multiple shallow passes or to score the line and then use a chisel and hammer to break away the excess material cleanly.

An excavator is then utilized to dig precise holes in the ground for the foundational supports. Helical piles or concrete posts are subsequently installed into these holes, establishing a stable and level base for the deck structure. A ledger board, typically made from treated lumber, is securely attached directly to the house's exterior wall, serving as a crucial structural anchor for the deck frame. The ground beneath the future deck is often leveled and might be covered with a weed barrier fabric and a layer of gravel or crushed stone for drainage and weed prevention. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iVrgyMfD8K4 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/no-shaming-this-framing-framing-deck-sturdybase-timberframing-v1230316/deck-frame-assembly-and-protection-c3584338 2026-10-22T19:33:49.573Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iVrgyMfD8K4/hqdefault.jpg Deck Frame Assembly and Protection — No shaming this framing 🤷🏼‍♂️ ..#framing #deck #sturdybase #t With the foundation and ledger board securely in place, the main support beams, typically made from treated lumber, are laid out and fastened to the foundational posts. These beams establish the primary perimeter and main load-bearing components of the deck. Next, numerous wooden joists are cut to precise sizes and installed perpendicular to both the ledger board and the main beams. This creates the essential grid-like framework that will support the decking boards. Joist hangers are commonly used to create strong and secure connections between joists and beams/ledger. Blocking or rim joists are then added to the perimeter and between joists for increased structural rigidity and to create a neat, finished edge. Finally, a black protective coating, such as a waterproofing sealant or an exterior stain, is applied to all exposed wooden components of the frame to enhance weather resistance, protect against rot and insects, and improve durability before the deck boards are installed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iVrgyMfD8K4 31 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/no-shaming-this-framing-framing-deck-sturdybase-timberframing-v1230316/deck-board-installation-c3584339 2026-10-22T19:33:49.573Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iVrgyMfD8K4/hqdefault.jpg Deck Board Installation — No shaming this framing 🤷🏼‍♂️ ..#framing #deck #sturdybase #timberframin With the protected deck frame complete, the final step in constructing the deck is to install the decking boards, which will form the walking surface. Workers carefully lay each board across the joists, ensuring consistent spacing between them. This spacing is crucial for proper water drainage and to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood due to moisture and temperature changes. The boards are then securely fastened to the joists using appropriate deck screws or a hidden fastening system, depending on the desired aesthetic and material. This process involves accurately cutting boards to fit the perimeter of the deck and around any obstructions, resulting in a finished, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iVrgyMfD8K4 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/getting-this-deck-dancefloor-ready-deck-deckdesign-designandbuild-v1230317 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IQMM9Zg_1aY/hqdefault.jpg Getting this deck dancefloor ready!! 🕺💃 #deck #deckdesign #designandbuild #deckparty #builder This project details the process of installing composite decking boards onto an existing deck subframe using a hidden fastening system.

The presenter shows how to insert the pencil between two panels to create a uniform gap. He explains that a carpenter's pencil typically measures half an inch on one dimension and a quarter inch on another, providing two very standard spacing options (1/2 inch or 1/4 inch). This method ensures that the gaps between panels are even, which is crucial for the aesthetic appearance of the installed surface and also aids in long-term maintenance. Properly spaced panels prevent irregular crevices where dirt, dust, and moisture can accumulate, making future seasonal deep cleaning tasks, such as power washing or scrubbing, more effective and less prone to leaving behind embedded grime. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UsBTmOSiOQg 12 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/february-24-2024-v1230381/secure-panels-maintaining-consistent-spacing-c3585675 2026-10-22T19:26:49.314Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UsBTmOSiOQg/hqdefault.jpg Secure Panels Maintaining Consistent Spacing — February 24, 2024 Once the desired spacing between the panels has been established using the carpenter's pencil, the next action is to securely fasten the panel to the underlying structure. The video demonstrates using an impact driver to drive screws through the panel, ensuring it is firmly attached while the carpenter's pencil remains in place as a temporary spacer. This process is repeated for subsequent panels. Ensuring that the panels are securely fastened and maintain their uniform spacing is vital for the longevity and overall integrity of the outdoor structure. From a cleaning and maintenance perspective, securely installed panels with consistent gaps are less likely to warp or shift over time, which can create new, hard-to-clean crevices. This structural stability simplifies seasonal deep cleaning, as surfaces remain flush and easily accessible for scrubbing, wiping, or power washing, preventing the accumulation of stubborn dirt, mold, or mildew. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UsBTmOSiOQg 3 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/built-in-benches-yes-or-no-v1230382 2026-10-22T19:40:02.293Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NcOfXbwplOs/hqdefault.jpg Built in benches, yes or no?

Yeah probably. But where’s the fun Begin by positioning a wood screw into the desired fastening point on the wooden railing. Using a cordless drill (an impact driver is shown), carefully drive the screw into the wood. The goal in this initial phase is to embed the screw deeply enough so that its head is very close to, but not quite flush with, the surface of the wood. This step creates the primary engagement of the screw with the material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GiwSxbTkIac 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/could-i-have-done-this-with-just-my-hand-yeah-probably-but-wheres-the-v1230385/tap-screw-head-flush-c3584490 2026-10-22T19:37:03.452Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GiwSxbTkIac/hqdefault.jpg Tap Screw Head Flush — Could I have done this with just my hand? Yeah probably. But where’s the fun Once the screw is mostly driven by the drill, switch to a hammer. Gently tap the head of the screw a few times to fully seat it into the wood. This tapping action helps to fully embed the screw head, compress any wood fibers around it, and achieve a perfectly flush or slightly countersunk finish without relying solely on the drill's torque. This can be particularly useful for preventing splintering on the wood surface or for screws that are prone to stripping when over-torqued. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GiwSxbTkIac 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/could-i-have-done-this-with-just-my-hand-yeah-probably-but-wheres-the-v1230385/finalize-screw-drive-c3584492 2026-10-22T19:37:03.452Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GiwSxbTkIac/hqdefault.jpg Finalize Screw Drive — Could I have done this with just my hand? Yeah probably. But where’s the fun After tapping the screw head flush with the hammer, return to the cordless drill. Lightly apply the drill to the screw head to ensure it is fully engaged and tightened into the wood. This final driving step provides any remaining necessary torque for a secure connection, ensuring the screw is firmly set without stripping the head or over-compressing the wood. This step might also serve to confirm the screw is truly tight after the physical seating, and is shown repeated for subsequent screws. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GiwSxbTkIac 7 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/a-full-build-in-under-a-minute-yes-please-build-v1230386 2026-10-22T19:26:45.947Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VqCR_YBK8FI/hqdefault.jpg A full build in under a minute?

The process involves precise measuring, marking, notching, bending, and final installation to create a professional and weather-resistant corner. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AwZHJnE6YwY 35 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/head-flashing-101-school-is-in-session-v1230417/measure-and-mark-the-flashing-for-corner-fabrication-c3586968 2026-10-22T19:34:54.777Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AwZHJnE6YwY/hqdefault.jpg Measure and Mark the Flashing for Corner Fabrication — Head Flashing 101: School is in session ✏️📚 Begin by measuring the required length of the L-shaped metal flashing using a tape measure. Place a mark with a pencil at this determined length. Next, use a speed square or combination square to draw a straight, perpendicular line across the top flange of the flashing at this marked length. This will serve as the main cut line for the end of the flashing. Then, from this primary cut line, measure back a short distance (e.g., 0.75 to 1 inch, depending on the depth of the flashing) and mark another perpendicular line. This second line defines the portion of the top flange that will be notched and bent to form the corner, creating a neat cap. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AwZHJnE6YwY 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/head-flashing-101-school-is-in-session-v1230417/notch-and-cut-the-flashing-for-the-corner-fold-c3586969 2026-10-22T19:34:54.777Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AwZHJnE6YwY/hqdefault.jpg Notch and Cut the Flashing for the Corner Fold — Head Flashing 101: School is in session ✏️📚 With the marks clearly visible, use a pair of tin snips to carefully cut the metal. First, cut along the innermost perpendicular line across the top flange only, stopping at the bend of the L-shape. Next, make a diagonal cut from the end of that first cut down to the bend of the L-shape, effectively removing a small triangular piece of the top flange. This creates a notch that will allow the remaining metal to fold neatly around the corner without buckling. Finally, cut the excess length of the bottom flange straight up to the original main length mark, separating it from the notched top section, thus creating a tab on the bottom flange that will fold around. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AwZHJnE6YwY 7 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/head-flashing-101-school-is-in-session-v1230417/form-the-corner-fold-c3586975 2026-10-22T19:34:54.777Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AwZHJnE6YwY/hqdefault.jpg Form the Corner Fold — Head Flashing 101: School is in session ✏️📚 With the flashing notched and cut, it's time to form the corner. Place the flashing on a sturdy surface, such as a workbench or a piece of scrap wood, aligning the cut edge of the bottom flange (the tab you just created) with the edge of your work surface. Using your hands, carefully bend the bottom flange tab upwards and around the corner created by the top flange. The previously cut notch in the top flange will allow this fold to happen cleanly, creating a neat, closed corner. Apply firm and even pressure to ensure a tight, crisp bend. https://www.youtube.com/embed/AwZHJnE6YwY 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/head-flashing-101-school-is-in-session-v1230417/install-the-flashing-onto-wood-c3586976 2026-10-22T19:34:54.777Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AwZHJnE6YwY/hqdefault.jpg Install the Flashing onto Wood — Head Flashing 101: School is in session ✏️📚 Once the corner is properly formed, position the metal flashing onto the wooden substrate (e.g., a fascia board, trim board, or wall framing) where it is to be permanently installed. Ensure the flashing is properly aligned and seated. Using a hammer, drive small nails through the top flange of the flashing and into the wood. Place nails at regular intervals (typically every 12 to 16 inches) along the length of the flashing to secure it firmly.

For boards that need to butt tightly against facial walls or other pre-installed pieces, the presenter suggests adding a slight bevel (a couple of degrees) to the cut edge. This can be done 'quick and dirty' by placing a pencil underneath the board on the miter saw table, effectively tilting the board to create the desired angle during the cut. This technique allows the board to fit snugly, minimizing visible gaps. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 39 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/secure-long-flexible-pipes-solo-c3583434 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Secure Long Flexible Pipes Solo — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living!! When installing a long, flexible material like a 12-foot PVC pipe by yourself, it tends to bend and fall. The trick is to use an 8-penny sinker nail. Drive the nail partway into the supporting structure (e.g., a header) where the pipe will be installed. Then, use the head of the nail as a temporary support point to hold the pipe in place while you position and secure it properly with your final fasteners. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 35 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/use-carpenters-pencil-as-table-saw-guide-c3583453 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Use Carpenter's Pencil as Table Saw Guide — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living A carpenter's pencil, often used for marking, can double as a portable guide for a circular saw, especially when a straight edge isn't readily available. Place the carpenter's pencil flat against the edge of the board to be cut. Position the baseplate of your circular saw against the pencil. The thickness of the pencil provides a consistent offset, allowing you to make a straight cut along the board without needing to measure and mark a line repeatedly or use a separate guide. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 31 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/close-gaps-with-an-angled-wedge-c3583457 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Close Gaps with an Angled Wedge — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living!! When installing boards, especially in areas where a tight fit is crucial, gaps can sometimes occur. To close a stubborn gap, cut a piece of scrap wood (e.g., a 2x4) at an angle on one end to create a wedge. Insert the wedge behind the installed board, in the framing cavity. Secure the wedge by driving one or two screws through it into the adjacent framing member, making sure the screws are angled such that they pull the installed board tightly against its neighbor as they are driven in. This creates internal pressure that pushes the board, closing the gap. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/smooth-mitered-corners-with-a-roll-c3583459 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Smooth Mitered Corners with a Roll — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living!! Even perfectly cut mitered corners can sometimes appear slightly open or feel sharp to the touch. To 'kill' this imperfection and create a smoother, more finished look, take a T15 bit (or any small, smooth, hard object) and wrap it in a soft cloth or towel. Apply gentle, firm pressure with the wrapped tool along the mitered edge, 'rolling' the corner. This creates a very subtle radius, making the joint appear tighter and providing a smoother feel, as if it were a single piece. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/batch-cut-identical-blocks-efficiently-c3583463 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Batch Cut Identical Blocks Efficiently — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living!! When you need to cut many pieces of the same length, such as 22 two-by-sixes at 2 and 5/16 inches, marking each piece individually is time-consuming. Instead, make the first cut accurately. Then, place that cut piece onto your miter saw table and butt it against the saw's fence. Use a pencil to draw a line on the fence along the end of the cut piece. This line now acts as a stop. For subsequent cuts, simply butt the full-length board against this pencil line and make your cut. This ensures all pieces are identical and significantly speeds up the process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 45 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/merry-christmas-from-all-of-us-at-premier-outdoor-living-v1230427/create-a-routing-jig-for-decking-c3583464 2026-10-14T16:12:40.102Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NdZ_BQksG68/hqdefault.jpg Create a Routing Jig for Decking — Merry Christmas from all of us at Premier Outdoor Living!! For projects requiring repetitive routing of patterns on multiple boards (e.g., 17 decorator decking boards), creating a jig is highly beneficial. The jig consists of a base (a long board) onto which two pieces of scrap decking are screwed down to create a track that precisely fits the 7 and 1/4-inch width of the boards to be routed. Additional pieces of wood are screwed on top of these track pieces to serve as guides for the router's baseplate. The router, equipped with a 1 and 1/8-inch deep V-bit, then slides along these guides, creating uniform patterns. This setup allows for quick insertion, clamping (using screws on the jig itself), routing, and removal of each board, ensuring exact replication of the design across all pieces. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdZ_BQksG68 124 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/any-questions-about-these-skylifts-we-use-v1230428 2026-10-22T19:38:21.651Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ncgnFRTMwEE/hqdefault.jpg Any questions about these skylifts we use?!

Set up a laser level to establish a precise horizontal line across the entire roof structure. Use a measuring stick (or grade rod) to measure from this laser line down to the top of the outer beam and then to the top of the inner beam. Record these measurements. The difference between these two measurements, after accounting for the 'height above plate' (the desired depth of the birdsmouth cut on the rafter, typically 8 inches for a 2x10), will give you the effective 'rise' of the roof. Measure the horizontal distance (the 'run') between the two main beams. Input the run and adjusted rise into a construction calculator (like Construction Master Pro) to obtain the precise roof 'pitch' in degrees. For this project, a pitch of approximately 6.1 degrees was determined. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Flotwph5Mhg 160 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-shed-roof-over-a-deck-part-2-v1230435/mark-and-cut-rafters-c3586758 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Flotwph5Mhg/hqdefault.jpg Mark and Cut Rafters — Building a SHED ROOF over a DECK - Part 2!! Using a speed square, mark the 'ridge cut' (the top angle where the rafter meets the main beam) on a rafter according to the calculated pitch (e.g., slightly over 6 degrees). Then, measure down from the ridge cut along the rafter to mark the 'birdsmouth cut'. This cut consists of a 'seat cut' (the horizontal portion that rests on the beam) and a 'plumb cut' (the vertical portion). For this project, a height above plate of 8 inches was chosen, and an additional 2 inches was 'burned' (added) to the measurement for safety, resulting in a 7.25-inch depth for the birdsmouth. This ensures sufficient bearing surface on the beam while allowing for a slight overhang. Carefully cut along these marks using a circular saw, creating a template rafter. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Flotwph5Mhg 169 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-shed-roof-over-a-deck-part-2-v1230435/install-rafters-with-hangers-c3586759 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Flotwph5Mhg/hqdefault.jpg Install Rafters with Hangers — Building a SHED ROOF over a DECK - Part 2!!

Carefully remove any existing shingles from the adjacent house roof where the pergola roof will meet. Clean the exposed plywood sheathing thoroughly, removing debris and ensuring a smooth surface. Install a synthetic roofing underlayment (e.g., Grayhawk Synthetic Underlayment) over the plywood sheathing, securing it with cap nails. Then, apply the EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber membrane. This is ideal for low-pitch roofs, offering excellent waterproofing. The membrane is typically adhered to the underlayment using specialized adhesive and then rolled down to ensure full contact and eliminate air bubbles. Overlap seams by at least 6 inches and use seam tape for a watertight seal.

First, the existing backyard area is cleared and leveled. A Bobcat skid-steer loader is utilized to efficiently move and spread bulk materials, likely gravel or compacted fill, to establish a stable and level base for the upcoming structures. Concurrently, a substantial temporary structure, appearing to be a large plywood frame approximately 8 to 10 feet tall, is erected directly behind the intended location of the fire pit. This plywood serves as shoring or a temporary false wall, which will eventually be covered with stone veneer to form a permanent feature wall. The groundwork for the fire pit itself is also initiated, with a preliminary layer of gravel laid and the first course of large, irregularly shaped natural stone blocks carefully positioned to define the rectangular perimeter of the fire pit. Workers are also observed performing tasks on the adjacent wooden deck, indicating this project is part of a larger backyard renovation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6zRpwruTvZE 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/natural-stone-and-a-fire-pit-kit-a-match-made-in-design-heaven-v1230487/stone-fire-pit-masonry-c3584516 2026-10-22T19:36:58.892Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6zRpwruTvZE/hqdefault.jpg Stone Fire Pit Masonry — Natural stone and a fire pit kit, a match made in design heaven 😍#firepit Following the layout of the base course, this step involves the meticulous construction of the fire pit's stone walls. Workers carefully select and place additional large, natural stone blocks, such as limestone or sandstone, on top of the initial layer. Each stone is individually positioned and leveled to ensure a stable and aesthetically pleasing structure. A heavy-duty sledgehammer or a rubber mallet is used to gently tap and settle the stones into their final position, ensuring they are tightly seated. A spirit level is consistently employed to check both horizontal and vertical alignment, maintaining the integrity and levelness of each course. If necessary, an angle grinder fitted with a diamond blade is used to precisely cut or shape stones to achieve a snug fit or desired aesthetic. A metal rod is also seen being used, potentially for clearing debris from joints, checking depth, or assisting in the precise placement of stones within the internal cavity of the fire pit. The interior of the fire pit remains an open cavity, designed to house the gas burner assembly and decorative media. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6zRpwruTvZE 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/natural-stone-and-a-fire-pit-kit-a-match-made-in-design-heaven-v1230487/final-landscaping-and-fire-pit-activation-c3584517 2026-10-22T19:36:58.892Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6zRpwruTvZE/hqdefault.jpg Final Landscaping and Fire Pit Activation — Natural stone and a fire pit kit, a match made in design The final stage of the project involves bringing all the aesthetic and functional elements together to complete the outdoor living space.

Ensure these new underlayment pieces overlap the existing underlayment by at least 6 inches on all sides and are properly adhered to create a waterproof barrier. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8iFRY56t5X4 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/new-boot-goofin-v1230500/install-flashing-and-roof-boot-c3584869 2026-10-22T19:38:51.084Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8iFRY56t5X4/hqdefault.jpg Install Flashing and Roof Boot — New boot goofin’ 🤷🏼‍♂️ The final and most crucial step for waterproofing is to install the roof flashing and boot. First, slide a pre-formed metal roof flashing around the base of the post anchor sleeve. This flashing should be installed using a 'shingle over shingle' method: the top edge of the flashing slides under the shingles above it, and the bottom edge overlaps the shingles below it. Then, carefully slide a rubber pipe flashing (commonly called a roof boot or pipe boot) over the post anchor sleeve. Ensure the boot fits snugly around the sleeve and lays flat against the metal flashing and surrounding shingles. Secure the metal flashing and the base of the rubber boot with roofing nails, placing them where they will be covered by the next course of shingles. Finally, apply a generous bead of roofing cement or sealant around all exposed edges of the flashing and the base of the rubber boot to ensure a completely watertight seal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8iFRY56t5X4 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-look-of-this-natural-stone-patio-is-just-hardscape-v1230502 2026-10-22T19:39:13.282Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gPtOjb74Ilc/hqdefault.jpg The look of this natural stone patio is just 🤤. #hardscape This video showcases the complete transformation of a backyard space from a gravel-based, unfinished patio area to a fully paved, elegant outdoor living space.

The space is circular, covered with light gray crushed stone or gravel, and features a partially constructed, rough rectangular fire pit in the center made from large stone blocks. The perimeter of this circular area is defined by a retaining wall made of large, irregularly shaped natural stone blocks. The surrounding ground appears to be bare soil or dirt. A person is seen standing by the retaining wall, observing the unfinished space under an overcast sky. A rapid transition effect then shifts the scene to the 'after' state. The same circular patio area is now completely transformed. The gravel base has been replaced with meticulously laid large, rectangular concrete pavers, which are dark gray with varied textures, arranged in an appealing, somewhat irregular pattern. A distinct border of smaller, darker grey pavers now encircles the main paved area. Between this paver border and the existing natural stone retaining wall, smooth, dark grey and black river rocks have been neatly placed, creating an attractive transition. The central fire pit is fully completed, matching the stone of the retaining wall, and is filled with what appears to be fire glass or lava rock. The retaining wall itself looks more defined and integrated.

The project begins with a general overview of the extensive paver patio construction, highlighting its substantial size (nearly 4000 square feet) and complex design around a pool area. The first practical step shown is the spreading of the paver base material, specifically crushed stone, which is delivered by a compact track loader (skid steer). A worker uses a rake to roughly spread the stone. Following the initial spreading, a plate compactor is used to compact the base layer, creating a stable and dense foundation for the pavers. This initial compaction ensures the base is firm and ready for further leveling and paver installation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-biggest-patio-weve-ever-built-v1230749/establishing-paver-layout-and-screed-elevations-c3714714 2026-10-22T21:58:57.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZYwa_J3VGo/hqdefault.jpg Establishing Paver Layout and Screed Elevations — The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT! The team sets up string lines to define the edges of the paver layout. A laser level is deployed to check the base elevation, ensuring it is within 1 to 1.5 inches of the final screed height. This precision is crucial for a consistent and level patio surface. The plan involves laying an accent band of 6x13 inch blue pavers first, which will then serve as a reference point for screeding off to the main field pavers. The strategy prioritizes working from the house outwards to allow for machine access to deliver materials closer to the laying site, optimizing efficiency. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 82 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-biggest-patio-weve-ever-built-v1230749/final-base-compaction-and-screed-bed-installation-c3714716 2026-10-22T21:58:57.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZYwa_J3VGo/hqdefault.jpg Final Base Compaction and Screed Bed Installation — The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT! After establishing the layout, the base material undergoes a final round of compaction to achieve maximum density and stability. Screed rails are then placed, typically along the established string lines or existing paver courses, to guide the screeding process. Bedding sand is spread over the compacted base and then screeded off using a long, straight edge (screed bar) pulled along the rails. This action creates a perfectly uniform and level sand bed, which is critical for the finished paver height and prevents settling issues. The screed bed is carefully tapered away from the pool edge to ensure proper water runoff. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 65 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-biggest-patio-weve-ever-built-v1230749/laying-paver-accent-bands-and-field-pavers-c3714717 2026-10-22T21:58:57.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZYwa_J3VGo/hqdefault.jpg Laying Paver Accent Bands and Field Pavers — The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT! The paver installation begins with the accent bands, which are typically laid first to define the main pattern and provide a starting edge for the field pavers. For this project, a blue 6x13 inch paver is used for the accent band. The crew carefully aligns these pavers along the string lines, ensuring the basket weave pattern is maintained. Once the accent bands are in place, the larger field pavers are laid, filling the main patio areas. A vacuum lifter is utilized to efficiently pick up and place the larger pavers, significantly speeding up the installation process and reducing physical strain. The team works systematically, often laying pavers from one side towards the other, ensuring a consistent pattern and joint alignment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 31 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-biggest-patio-weve-ever-built-v1230749/precision-paver-cutting-around-pool-curves-c3714720 2026-10-22T21:58:57.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZYwa_J3VGo/hqdefault.jpg Precision Paver Cutting Around Pool Curves — The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT! To cut pavers that conform perfectly to the curved pool coping, a custom-made wooden jig is employed. This jig has two screws at one end that ride along the pool's concrete edge, and a pencil at the other, set at a 9-inch offset to mark the paver's cut line. This creates a consistent offset curve. The marked pavers are then cut using a wet-cut saw, which utilizes water to keep the blade cool and minimize dust. Careful and precise cuts ensure a seamless and professional finish around the pool's unique shape. The cut pavers are rinsed immediately to remove slurry. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-biggest-patio-weve-ever-built-v1230749/fire-pit-construction-with-custom-banding-c3714731 2026-10-22T21:58:57.984Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nZYwa_J3VGo/hqdefault.jpg Fire Pit Construction with Custom Banding — The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT!

After all the pavers are laid and the final adjustments are made, a concrete edge restraint is installed around the perimeter of the patio. This is done by first pulling back excess bedding sand to create a trench for the concrete. A special concrete mix, reinforced with fibers for added strength and crack resistance, is prepared using a mixer. This strong concrete is then shoveled into the trench along the paver edges. Using a trowel, the concrete is meticulously shaped and sloped away from the pavers, creating a robust, long-lasting edge that prevents the pavers from shifting or separating over time. For landscape beds, the concrete edge can be less precise as it will be covered with mulch, but for grass areas, it should be kept about an inch below the paver surface and aggressively sloped for easy mowing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYwa_J3VGo 659 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/what-is-a-roof-cricket-how-to-build-one-and-understanding-roof-angles-v1230751 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O7-TWWRfMrA/hqdefault.jpg What Is A Roof CRICKET?!

This begins with preparing the house wall, often by removing siding to expose the rim joist or band board. A treated lumber ledger board is then precisely measured, cut, and securely fastened to the house's structural framing using lag screws or through-bolts and washers. Concurrently, or immediately after, support posts made from treated lumber are positioned and anchored in concrete footings (which typically need to be prepared beforehand by digging and pouring concrete). These posts are cut to the correct height, and then main beams (girders), also made of treated lumber, are attached to the top of these posts. These beams run parallel to the ledger board, forming the outer perimeter of the deck's main support structure. The video briefly shows workers assembling these larger structural components. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XN7vebU6dlU 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/weve-been-framed-shorts-v1230759/install-primary-joists-c3584537 2026-10-22T19:37:27.331Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XN7vebU6dlU/hqdefault.jpg Install Primary Joists — We’ve been framed 🤷🏼‍♂️. #shorts With the ledger board and main beams in place, the next step is to install the deck joists. These are typically smaller dimensional lumber pieces (e.g., 2x8, 2x10, or 2x12 treated lumber) that run perpendicular to the ledger board and main beams. The joists are cut to the appropriate length to span between these supports. Joist hangers are metal connectors used to securely attach the joists to both the ledger board and the main beams. These hangers are fastened using specific hanger nails or screws. Proper spacing, typically 12 or 16 inches on center, is crucial for the stability and load-bearing capacity of the deck.

This often involves cutting many joists to varying lengths, especially for complex or multi-angled deck designs. Workers repeatedly install joists, ensuring they are properly spaced and securely attached with joist hangers and fasteners to both the ledger board(s) and supporting beams. This phase can also include adding blocking or bridging between joists. Blocking consists of short pieces of lumber installed perpendicularly between joists to increase rigidity, prevent twisting, and provide additional nailing surfaces for decking.

Stone dust is a fine aggregate composed of crushed stone particles ranging from 1/4 inch down to very fine 'fines'. This material is ideal for artificial turf as it compacts tightly, creating a smooth surface without sharp edges that could be felt through the turf. Avoid using 3/8-inch clean stone for the sub-base as it is too loose and will not provide a stable, flat surface without perceptible stones beneath the turf. Use a mini-skid steer (or shovels for manual work) to load stone dust into a wheelbarrow. Transport the stone dust to the prepared area within the Roka border. Dump the aggregate and then use rakes to spread it evenly across the entire surface, aiming for a consistent depth. This initial spreading prepares the area for precise leveling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GCdlAcVeryw 53 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/artificial-turf-and-more-insane-backyard-pt-15-v1230764/screed-and-compact-stone-dust-subbase-c3714702 2026-10-22T21:58:57.608Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GCdlAcVeryw/hqdefault.jpg Screed and Compact Stone Dust Sub-Base — Artificial TURF And More - INSANE BACKYARD Pt 15 Once the stone dust is roughly spread, place long metal screeding bars or sturdy pieces of lumber across the area, resting them on the Roka border or on temporary guides. These bars will act as guides for leveling the surface. Use a straight edge, such as a large level or another screeding bar, to pull across the screeding bars. This action removes high spots and fills in low spots, ensuring the stone dust is perfectly flat and level across the entire area. After screeding, lightly wet the stone dust using a water hose. The water helps in the compaction process by reducing friction between particles. Finally, use a vibratory plate compactor to thoroughly compact the wetted stone dust. Make several overlapping passes over the entire surface to achieve maximum density and stability, creating a firm and smooth foundation for the artificial turf. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GCdlAcVeryw 13 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/pocket-screws-or-youre-a-loser-shorts-v1230765 2026-10-22T19:49:52.605Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u7og0DVKZ2w/hqdefault.jpg Pocket screws, or you’re a loser 🤷🏼‍♂️#shorts This project demonstrates a method for creating a strong and clean mitered corner joint for composite decking using pocket hole joinery, construction adhesive, and specialized screws.

Begin by evaluating the total space available in your backyard and decide how much of that area you want to dedicate to your new outdoor living space, considering factors like retaining grass for children or pets. Crucially, consult your local municipality regarding zoning restrictions and setbacks. These regulations dictate how far from your property lines you must build any structures, including patios or decks. Reviewing your property survey can often provide this information. Understanding these rules early will prevent potential legal or construction issues, especially if you plan to sell your home in the future. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cW3wEI_QHMU 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-5-backyard-makeover-tips-v1230769/plan-layout-and-furniture-placement-c3583659 2026-10-14T21:02:24.043Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cW3wEI_QHMU/hqdefault.jpg Plan Layout and Furniture Placement — TOP 5 Backyard Makeover Tips! Approach your outdoor space design by thinking in terms of 'rooms' – for example, a seating area with a couch, a dining space, or a spot for a fire pit. A key tip is to select your patio furniture *first*. This allows you to integrate the dimensions and style of your desired pieces directly into the design, rather than trying to fit furniture into a pre-built space. Ensure you leave ample space for walkways and circulation, ideally 3 to 4 feet in front of doors, stairs, and between furniture pieces to prevent traffic jams. Opt for simple shapes in your design to create a modern, cohesive look that connects different areas without appearing cluttered. Seek inspiration from online platforms like Pinterest and Instagram for design ideas. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cW3wEI_QHMU 102 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-5-backyard-makeover-tips-v1230769/establish-a-realistic-budget-c3583660 2026-10-14T21:02:24.043Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cW3wEI_QHMU/hqdefault.jpg Establish a Realistic Budget — TOP 5 Backyard Makeover Tips! Budget is a critical factor. Determine how much you are willing to spend on your backyard makeover. The easiest way to reduce costs is by minimizing the overall square footage of your patio. Consider whether this is your 'forever home' or if you plan to sell within the next 5-10 years, as this impacts material choices for resale value. For instance, using slightly cheaper materials or having a larger overall square footage might offer better value for resale. Don't overlook ongoing maintenance costs; a wooden deck might be cheaper initially but requires annual staining and sealing, unlike more durable, low-maintenance materials. Factor these long-term expenses into your budget decisions. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cW3wEI_QHMU 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-5-backyard-makeover-tips-v1230769/decide-on-diy-vs-professional-help-c3583663 2026-10-14T21:02:24.043Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cW3wEI_QHMU/hqdefault.jpg Decide on DIY vs. Professional Help — TOP 5 Backyard Makeover Tips! Choosing between DIY and hiring a professional will significantly affect your budget and project timeline. DIY projects save money on labor but require a substantial investment of your time, and often take longer than expected. You'll also need to consider if you own or need to acquire/rent the necessary tools. Hiring a professional is more expensive but generally ensures the job is done correctly and more quickly. If you choose to hire, thoroughly vet your contractor by checking their online presence, reviews, and references from friends or family.

Once the main structure is in place, focus on the 'extra touches' that make your patio pop. Prioritize **lighting**: adequate landscape lighting is crucial, as outdoor spaces are frequently used in the evening. Allocate a portion of your budget for this, as it significantly enhances ambiance and usability. Next, consider **landscaping**: it helps anchor structures into the backyard rather than just having them sit on grass. Visit a local nursery to find plants suitable for your area and your desired level of maintenance. For a unique touch, explore **inlays** for your deck or patio; these decorative elements allow for creative design and can elevate a normal patio to something truly incredible, though they require more advanced planning. Lastly, incorporate **privacy walls or other vertical elements** to add dimension and create intimate, cozy spaces, especially if your neighbors are close. These elements contribute to both aesthetics and functionality. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cW3wEI_QHMU 165 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/didnt-know-we-were-tile-guys-neither-did-we-shorts-v1230770 2026-10-22T19:26:51.642Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0ws3P_sylWQ/hqdefault.jpg Didn’t know we were tile guys?

INSANE BACKYARD Pt 13 As paver installation continues, the crew discusses the best approach for laying the complex field inlay patterns. They decide that instead of attempting to lay the intricate accent patterns directly as they go, it will be more efficient and precise to first lay all the main field pavers. Once the main field is complete, they will snap chalk lines to define the accent areas and then cut the pavers in place. This strategy simplifies the initial laying process and allows for greater accuracy in the final pattern. A 45-degree string line is set from a corner to guide the initial field paver placement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-gMU3DkSRc0 77 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/starting-our-biggest-patio-ever-insane-backyard-pt-13-v1230775/prepare-pitch-main-patio-screed-bed-c3586102 2026-10-22T19:30:13.936Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-gMU3DkSRc0/hqdefault.jpg Prepare & Pitch Main Patio Screed Bed — Starting Our BIGGEST Patio Ever!

These measurements are used to ensure the new walls will be parallel. If there are minor discrepancies from the initial concrete formwork (e.g., 3/8 inch off), split the difference (e.g., 3/16 inch) to maintain symmetry. Once precise points are marked, use a chalk line to snap straight lines across the concrete, which will guide the placement of the bottom plates. Also, verify diagonal measurements to ensure the layout is perfectly square. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfHMN5_mLY4 118 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-addition-walls-insane-backyard-pt-5-v1230804/install-double-bottom-plates-c3715036 2026-10-22T22:41:00.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DfHMN5_mLY4/hqdefault.jpg Install Double Bottom Plates — Building Addition Walls - INSANE Backyard Pt 5 Begin by placing a pressure-treated 2x4 lumber piece, which serves as the first bottom plate, along one of the snapped chalk lines. Before placing the second bottom plate, unroll a pink sill sealer (foam gasket) on top of the first plate, ensuring it is aligned to prevent moisture transfer. Cut the bottom plates to the correct length using a circular saw. Position the second pressure-treated 2x4 directly on top of the sill sealer. Both plates should be aligned with the chalk lines and pass over the wet-set J-bolts. Use a hammer drill to create pilot holes for concrete screws, and then drive the concrete screws in with an impact driver to temporarily secure the plates. This initial fastening helps align the plates precisely before the J-bolts are tightened down. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfHMN5_mLY4 125 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-addition-walls-insane-backyard-pt-5-v1230804/framing-and-erecting-walls-part-1-c3715038 2026-10-22T22:41:00.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DfHMN5_mLY4/hqdefault.jpg Framing and Erecting Walls (Part 1) — Building Addition Walls - INSANE Backyard Pt 5 In a time-lapse sequence, the framed walls are assembled and stood up on the double bottom plates. Due to the double sole plate detail, which makes pre-assembling and raising entire wall sections difficult, the workers build the walls 'stick by stick' (individual studs and plates). This process includes cutting individual studs, headers, and cripples to size, then nailing them together to form the wall sections. Temporary bracing, typically made from lumber, is crucial to hold the newly erected walls plumb and stable while construction continues. The host mentions that starting with the doorways is a good approach. When installing door headers, a 3.5-inch by 12-inch beam is used for this specific door opening. They also have king studs and jack studs that support this header. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfHMN5_mLY4 294 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-addition-walls-insane-backyard-pt-5-v1230804/install-temporary-wall-bracing-c3715039 2026-10-22T22:41:00.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DfHMN5_mLY4/hqdefault.jpg Install Temporary Wall Bracing — Building Addition Walls - INSANE Backyard Pt 5 After the walls are framed and erected, diagonal lumber braces are installed to hold them securely in a plumb (perfectly vertical) position. These braces are nailed into the wall studs and the double bottom plates. The host explains that these temporary braces will remain in place until the entire roof structure is framed and sheathed, ensuring stability during the remaining construction phases. He explicitly states that for this project, the braces are run between walls and not drilled into the concrete slab, as it was not deemed necessary for the design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfHMN5_mLY4 64 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-addition-walls-insane-backyard-pt-5-v1230804/apply-exterior-sheathing-c3715040 2026-10-22T22:41:00.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DfHMN5_mLY4/hqdefault.jpg Apply Exterior Sheathing — Building Addition Walls - INSANE Backyard Pt 5 Once the walls are framed and properly braced, begin applying the sheathing. For this project, pressure-treated plywood sheets (4x8 feet) are used. Measure and cut the plywood as needed to fit the wall sections, making sure to align them properly with the studs. Since the walls are slightly taller than 8 feet, a small 'rip' (a narrow strip of plywood) is needed above the full sheets to cover the entire wall height. Nail the plywood sheets securely to the wall studs using a pneumatic nail gun. This sheathing provides structural rigidity to the framed walls. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DfHMN5_mLY4 58 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-addition-walls-insane-backyard-pt-5-v1230804/project-review-and-final-thoughts-c3715042 2026-10-22T22:41:00.242Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DfHMN5_mLY4/hqdefault.jpg Project Review and Final Thoughts — Building Addition Walls - INSANE Backyard Pt 5 The host provides a final review of the completed wall framing and sheathing.

First, make a single mark at the desired distance from the edge of the plywood using the tape measure. Then, position the tip of your pencil precisely at this mark. Hold the tape measure firmly against the edge of the plywood with your thumb, ensuring the tape's edge aligns with the desired line and extends past the pencil. Use your other hand to secure the tape measure body while sliding the pencil, guided by the tape's edge, along the entire length of the plywood to create a continuous, straight line. This technique is highly efficient for custom cuts in automotive panel work, such as creating precise speaker enclosures, trim pieces, or cargo area organizers. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pakXEs_oVDw 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/you-know-what-time-it-is-tonys-tuesday-tip-coming-in-hot-with-this-v1230806/acknowledge-potential-hazards-comedic-c3584946 2026-10-22T19:26:37.028Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pakXEs_oVDw/hqdefault.jpg Acknowledge Potential Hazards (Comedic) — You know what time it is, TONYS TUESDAY TIP!!

Adequate drainage must be planned and implemented at this stage. Following excavation, a layer of geotextile fabric may be laid to prevent mixing of subsoil with the aggregate base. Subsequently, a layer of crushed stone or gravel (the sub-base) is spread and compacted in lifts to achieve maximum density and stability. This foundational work is crucial for the longevity and structural integrity of both the patio and the heavy built-in benches, ensuring they remain level and stable over time. While not explicitly detailed in the time-lapse, the presence of the workers and the partially laid base material implies this foundational work is underway. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLa_XzmNSG0 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/patio-design-coming-in-hot-shorts-v1230830/builtin-bench-framing-construction-c3586174 2026-10-22T19:27:16.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLa_XzmNSG0/hqdefault.jpg Built-in Bench Framing Construction — Patio design coming in hot! 🔥 #shorts As the sub-base for the patio is being prepared, the structural framing for the built-in benches is erected. The video clearly shows a substantial wooden framework, likely constructed from pressure-treated lumber or composite structural members, which forms the core of the L-shaped bench. This frame includes vertical posts, horizontal support beams, and joists for the seating surface. Precision in construction is vital here, as the benches must be perfectly level and structurally sound to support weight and to create a seamless transition with the adjacent paver patio. Fasteners like galvanized screws or structural connectors are used to ensure the rigidity and durability of the frame. This step establishes the fixed elements around which the patio pavers will be laid. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLa_XzmNSG0 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/patio-design-coming-in-hot-shorts-v1230830/paver-edge-restraint-and-pattern-layout-c3586175 2026-10-22T19:27:16.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLa_XzmNSG0/hqdefault.jpg Paver Edge Restraint and Pattern Layout — Patio design coming in hot! 🔥 #shorts On top of the compacted sub-base, a thin layer of bedding sand is spread and screeded to a uniform thickness. Then, the intricate geometric design of the patio begins to take shape with the placement of dark-colored linear paver elements. These elements act as edge restraints and visual separators for the pattern. Workers are seen carefully laying these dark pieces, ensuring precise alignment and spacing according to the overall design. This step requires careful planning and execution to ensure the pattern is square, symmetrical, and correctly interfaces with the built-in bench structure. The edge restraints help to lock the main pavers in place once installed, preventing shifting over time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLa_XzmNSG0 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/patio-design-coming-in-hot-shorts-v1230830/main-paver-installation-c3586176 2026-10-22T19:27:16.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLa_XzmNSG0/hqdefault.jpg Main Paver Installation — Patio design coming in hot! 🔥 #shorts With the dark linear pattern established, the primary light-colored pavers are now laid. Workers carefully place each paver onto the bedding sand, ensuring tight joints and correct alignment within the defined pattern. Many pavers will require cutting to fit the intricate angles and edges of the design, especially where the patio meets the built-in benches or forms the central square element. This process demands high precision and attention to detail to achieve a visually appealing and structurally sound patio surface. After placement, the pavers are typically tapped into the bedding sand with a rubber mallet to ensure they are firmly seated and level with adjacent pavers. The time-lapse shows the gradual filling of the patio area, culminating in the complete paver surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLa_XzmNSG0 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/patio-design-coming-in-hot-shorts-v1230830/builtin-bench-decking-installation-c3586177 2026-10-22T19:27:16.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLa_XzmNSG0/hqdefault.jpg Built-in Bench Decking Installation — Patio design coming in hot! 🔥 #shorts Once the adjacent paver work is sufficiently complete, the built-in benches are finished by installing the decking material. The video's final shots show fully decked benches. This involves cutting composite decking boards or treated wood planks to size and attaching them securely to the structural framework. The decking should be installed with appropriate spacing for drainage and expansion/contraction. Fasteners, typically specialized deck screws or hidden fastening systems, are used to create a clean, durable seating surface. The choice of decking material (composite or wood) often matches or complements other outdoor features, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic with the patio. This step transforms the raw frame into functional and attractive seating. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wLa_XzmNSG0 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/patio-design-coming-in-hot-shorts-v1230830/paver-jointing-compaction-and-cleanup-c3586178 2026-10-22T19:27:16.507Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLa_XzmNSG0/hqdefault.jpg Paver Jointing, Compaction, and Cleanup — Patio design coming in hot! 🔥 #shorts The final stage for the paver patio involves spreading polymeric sand over the entire surface. This sand is then swept into all the joints between the pavers. A plate compactor (often with a protective mat) is used to vibrate the pavers, settling the sand deeply into the joints. This process is usually repeated to ensure all joints are completely filled. Once settled, the polymeric sand is lightly misted with water to activate its binding agents, which harden to lock the pavers in place, prevent weed growth, and deter ant infestations. The entire site is then thoroughly cleaned, removing any excess sand, debris, or construction materials, leaving a pristine and functional patio with integrated benches.

The individual uses a yellow tape measure to take an internal measurement across the top opening of the frame where the trim will be installed. He demonstrates a precise measurement technique for tight spaces: instead of trying to perfectly align the tape's hook, he extends the tape past the desired endpoint, pulls it taut, and identifies a convenient whole number (e.g., 70 inches) on the tape that aligns with an easy-to-read reference point (like an existing stud or corner). He then measures the excess length from the true endpoint back to that reference point and subtracts it from the whole number. Alternatively, he suggests measuring an even distance (like 10 inches) from one end, marking it, then measuring from that mark to the other end and adding the initial offset. This method ensures accuracy, especially in trim carpentry. He marks the required length on the wood with a pencil. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mp6b3qFJXc8 19 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/quick-and-dirty-measuring-hack-shorts-carpentrytips-carpentryskills-v1230877/cut-trim-to-size-c97096 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mp6b3qFJXc8/hqdefault.jpg Cut Trim to Size — Quick and dirty measuring hack! #shorts #carpentrytips #carpentryskills After obtaining the precise measurement, the individual (though not shown in the video) would proceed to cut the composite trim board to the exact length.

The presenter uses both a 3x4-inch and a 5-inch orbital sander (Ekasaand E-Series) with 80-grit sandpaper. Sanding helps to 'open up' the wood grain, allowing the stain to penetrate deeper and adhere better. New milled lumber often has a glossy-like mill glaze that prevents proper stain absorption, which sanding removes. For smaller areas and edges, a 10mm closed-cell sanding sponge (Ekasilk Plus) is used to achieve smooth finishes and prepare all surfaces. https://www.youtube.com/embed/y53H7FjZgsE 218 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-tenir-y-sellar-una-nueva-plataforma-de-secuoya-guia-experta-v1705945/moisture-check-and-surface-preparation-c1653272 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y53H7FjZgsE/hqdefault.jpg Moisture Check and Surface Preparation — Cómo teñir y sellar una nueva plataforma de secuoya | Guía Before applying the stain, it's crucial to check the wood's moisture content, especially for new decks, using a moisture meter. The presenter stresses that if the wood is too wet, it won't accept the stain properly, leading to poor adhesion and premature failure. After sanding, use a leaf blower to remove all sanding dust and debris from the deck surface, ensuring a clean base for the stain application. Additionally, mask off any adjacent surfaces, like the house siding, with Frogtape yellow delicate surface tape to prevent the stain from bleeding or peeling off the house later. https://www.youtube.com/embed/y53H7FjZgsE 88 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-tenir-y-sellar-una-nueva-plataforma-de-secuoya-guia-experta-v1705945/prepare-the-oilbased-stain-c1653273 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y53H7FjZgsE/hqdefault.jpg Prepare the Oil-Based Stain — Cómo teñir y sellar una nueva plataforma de secuoya | Guía experta sob The stain, an oil-based penetrating product from Stain & Seal Experts, should be thoroughly stirred before use, as the pigments can settle over time. The presenter uses a drill attachment to mix the stain in its original bucket. For application, the stain is poured into a smaller, more manageable bucket. This particular product is a low VOC formula that meets requirements in all 50 US states and the UK, and it also boasts a high flash point (up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to 90 degrees for most other oil-based stains), significantly reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion. https://www.youtube.com/embed/y53H7FjZgsE 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-tenir-y-sellar-una-nueva-plataforma-de-secuoya-guia-experta-v1705945/apply-and-wipe-off-excess-stain-c1653274 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y53H7FjZgsE/hqdefault.jpg Apply and Wipe Off Excess Stain — Cómo teñir y sellar una nueva plataforma de secuoya | Guía experta Apply the oil-based stain generously using a brush, focusing on saturating the wood. The goal is to achieve deep penetration into the wood fibers, which prevents the wood from cracking, splitting, and drying out over time. This product has a thick viscosity and adheres well to the brush, minimizing drips and spills. Once a section is covered, immediately wipe off any excess stain with a rag. This is a critical step for oil-based penetrating stains, as any excess left on the surface will not dry and will remain sticky, accumulating dirt and dust. Continue this process for all surfaces, including the bench and deck boards, working in manageable sections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/y53H7FjZgsE 275 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-tenir-y-sellar-una-nueva-plataforma-de-secuoya-guia-experta-v1705945/final-touches-and-weather-considerations-c1653275 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y53H7FjZgsE/hqdefault.jpg Final Touches and Weather Considerations — Cómo teñir y sellar una nueva plataforma de secuoya | Guí After successfully staining the entire deck and allowing adequate drying time, carefully remove the masking tape from all protected surfaces.

Who Makes The BEST Sealant? The video highlights that sealants are not merely an accessory but a critical component in protecting building exteriors, especially stucco. While paint provides a surface layer, the sealant forms the primary barrier at junctions where different building materials meet, such as around windows, doors, and other penetrations. This barrier is crucial for preventing water intrusion, air leakage, and pest entry, contributing to the overall integrity and longevity of the structure. The discussion emphasizes that the quality of the sealant can be even more important than the paint or roofing shingles, as sealant failure can lead to significant structural and aesthetic issues. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9XJHzbF7YA 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/quality-caulking-who-makes-the-best-sealant-v1705946/identify-problems-with-inferior-sealants-c3319781 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c9XJHzbF7YA/hqdefault.jpg Identify Problems with Inferior Sealants — Quality Caulking. Who Makes The BEST Sealant? Drawing on personal experience, the speaker (Christy) recounts how, earlier in his career, he frequently chose cheaper caulking products. This often led to the caulk cracking within a year, requiring him to return to jobs for touch-ups, re-sealing, and repainting—tasks that cost significant time and labor. Nate from Sashco reinforces this by stating that insurance companies pay billions for water damage annually, much of which originates from failed seals. This underscores the false economy of saving a few dollars on initial material costs, as it often results in much larger expenses down the line due to product failure and subsequent damage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9XJHzbF7YA 22 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/quality-caulking-who-makes-the-best-sealant-v1705946/evaluate-sealant-elasticity-and-durability-c3319782 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c9XJHzbF7YA/hqdefault.jpg Evaluate Sealant Elasticity and Durability — Quality Caulking. Who Makes The BEST Sealant? The video provides a tangible demonstration of sealant quality by comparing the elasticity of a popular, widely-used silicone sealant with Sashco's 'Big Stretch' sealant. The standard silicone sealant, while having some flexibility, eventually breaks under stress. In contrast, 'Big Stretch' demonstrates significantly superior elasticity, stretching much further before showing any signs of failure. This ability to stretch and recover is vital for stucco applications because buildings constantly expand and contract due to temperature changes and structural shifts. A highly elastic sealant maintains its integrity through these movements, preventing cracks and preserving the seal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9XJHzbF7YA 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/quality-caulking-who-makes-the-best-sealant-v1705946/choose-sealants-with-strong-warranties-and-guarantees-c3319783 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c9XJHzbF7YA/hqdefault.jpg Choose Sealants with Strong Warranties and Guarantees — Quality Caulking. Who Makes The BEST Sealant A critical factor in choosing a sealant is the warranty provided by the manufacturer. Sashco's 'Big Stretch' sealants, for instance, come with a lifetime warranty, highlighting the company's confidence in their product's enduring performance. For specialized products like 'CleanSeal,' the warranty extends to covering the labor cost for re-application if mold growth occurs within the first seven years. Such strong guarantees offer invaluable peace of mind to both contractors and homeowners, demonstrating that the manufacturer stands behind their product and is committed to long-term quality and protection, reducing risks of future unexpected costs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9XJHzbF7YA 68 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/quality-caulking-who-makes-the-best-sealant-v1705946/realize-multifaceted-benefits-of-highquality-sealing-c3319784 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/c9XJHzbF7YA/hqdefault.jpg Realize Multifaceted Benefits of High-Quality Sealing — Quality Caulking. Who Makes The BEST Sealant The discussion covers multiple advantages of using high-quality sealants beyond basic waterproofing and air sealing. Properly sealed joints prevent the infiltration of air, which helps maintain internal temperatures and reduces energy bills. Additionally, effective sealing deters pests, such as carpenter bees, from building nests in vulnerable areas like corner boards and window trims, preserving the structural integrity and cleanliness of the exterior. From an aesthetic perspective, high-quality, elastic sealants remain intact and uncracked for many years, enhancing the overall appearance of the stucco and avoiding the unsightly look of deteriorated caulk lines, thus eliminating the need for frequent aesthetic maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9XJHzbF7YA 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/maestro-en-pintura-de-interiores-el-arte-de-los-retoques-v1705947 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/S53fVnjzG2Y/hqdefault.jpg Maestro en pintura de interiores El arte de los retoques This instructional video provides comprehensive guidance on achieving seamless touch-ups on interior walls by emphasizing the use of original paint, understanding paint properties, selecting specialized fine brushes, and employing precise application techniques.

Use a smaller 9-inch paint roller equipped with edge fluff (extra nap material on the ends) or a standard 9-inch roller. This specialized roller allows you to roll directly into the corners and edges without needing to tape, creating a clean line. By completing the edges first, the paint has time to slightly dry before the main ceiling is rolled, helping to prevent lap marks and ensure a seamless blend between the cut-in areas and the rolled sections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SyrrFIBLwu4 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-pintar-techos-rapido-y-como-un-pintor-profesional-v1705948/select-flat-paint-for-ceilings-c3316318 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SyrrFIBLwu4/hqdefault.jpg Select Flat Paint for Ceilings — CÓMO pintar techos RÁPIDO y como un PINTOR profesional Always use flat paint for ceilings. Flat paint has a non-reflective finish that is excellent for hiding minor imperfections, patched areas, and roller marks. Unlike paints with higher sheens (satin, semi-gloss, or even eggshell), flat paint diffuses light rather than reflecting it, which helps to conceal any unevenness or glare. While flat paint is ideal for most ceilings, it's important to note that it's less durable and washable than higher sheens. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a paint with a slightly higher sheen (like eggshell or satin) might be more practical for its resistance to moisture and ease of cleaning, despite potentially showing more imperfections. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SyrrFIBLwu4 34 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-pintar-techos-rapido-y-como-un-pintor-profesional-v1705948/optimal-ceiling-rolling-direction-c3316319 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SyrrFIBLwu4/hqdefault.jpg Optimal Ceiling Rolling Direction — CÓMO pintar techos RÁPIDO y como un PINTOR profesional To minimize visible roller marks and 'flashing' (uneven light reflection), always roll the ceiling parallel to the main light source in the room. This means identifying the primary windows or doorways through which natural light enters and rolling in the same direction as that light travels across the ceiling. Avoid rolling perpendicular to the light source, as this will emphasize any inconsistencies in the paint finish. When rolling, work in small, manageable squares (e.g., approximately 4x4 feet) to maintain a wet edge, ensuring that each new section of paint blends smoothly into the previous one. After completing a square, always finish by making a final pass in the direction of the light source to ensure a uniform texture across the entire ceiling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SyrrFIBLwu4 196 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/como-pintar-techos-rapido-y-como-un-pintor-profesional-v1705948/match-vents-and-fixtures-to-ceiling-c3316320 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SyrrFIBLwu4/hqdefault.jpg Match Vents and Fixtures to Ceiling — CÓMO pintar techos RÁPIDO y como un PINTOR profesional For a truly professional finish, extend your painting efforts to the ceiling fixtures. Often, air vents, light fixtures, and other ceiling-mounted accessories can yellow or accumulate dirt over time, contrasting sharply with a freshly painted ceiling. To address this, first clean the fixtures thoroughly. Then, apply a high-quality bonding primer, such as an 'Extreme Bonding Primer' in a spray can, to ensure excellent adhesion to various materials (metal, plastic). After the primer dries, use a handheld airless sprayer to apply the same flat ceiling paint used on the main ceiling. This will seamlessly blend the fixtures into the ceiling, creating a cohesive and polished look. If you are using a regular paint roller for the ceiling, you can still paint the fixtures with the same ceiling paint and a small brush or a small handheld airless sprayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SyrrFIBLwu4 155 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/10-pasos-para-pintar-una-habitacion-rapido-y-facil-traducido-v1705949 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oaOaxe03DnU/hqdefault.jpg 10 pasos para pintar una habitación RÁPIDO y FÁCIL traducido This video provides a comprehensive guide on how to paint a room while employing the feathering technique to eliminate visible roller marks, resulting in a smooth, blended paint finish.

In bathrooms, this includes oils from the body, and in kitchens, it's greases and oils from cooking. CleanSeal utilizes active enzymes that effectively break down these oils into a soap-like substance. A key advantage is that these enzymes are not used up in the process, providing continuous prevention against mold and mildew growth by depriving them of a food source. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bDmkh2uwACg 33 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/clean-seal-bathtub-sealant-eats-mold-v1705962/note-paintability-restrictions-c3315686 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bDmkh2uwACg/hqdefault.jpg Note Paintability Restrictions — Clean Seal Bathtub Sealant EATS Mold A critical 'pro tip' for using CleanSeal is that it cannot be painted over.

The creator emphasizes the importance of proper preparation, including sanding the wood, to ensure deep penetration and longevity of the stain. He explains that new, milled wood often has a 'mill glaze' (a glossy, film-like surface from the production process) that prevents stain from absorbing effectively, necessitating sanding. He also mentions the importance of using a pigmented stain for UV protection, as clear coats offer insufficient protection. For new decks, checking moisture levels is critical; the wood must not be too wet to accept the stain. The application method for this small deck will be hand brushing, which is crucial for achieving good penetration, as opposed to spraying which would require back-brushing to ensure absorption. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3DTIMB9-df8 124 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/staining-a-deck-what-you-need-to-know-v1705964/sanding-the-deck-surfaces-c1650499 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3DTIMB9-df8/hqdefault.jpg Sanding the Deck Surfaces — Staining a Deck | What You Need To Know Using a 3x4 inch sander and a 5-inch orbital sander, sand all surfaces of the deck, including the floorboards, railings, and any benches. Use 80-grit sandpaper to effectively open the wood grain and remove the mill glaze. For tighter areas like corners and edges, utilize a 10mm sanding sponge to ensure a smooth finish and proper stain acceptance.

Apply a generous, heavy coat of stain to a section of the deck, ensuring thorough saturation of the wood. The product has a thick viscosity and adheres well to the brush, allowing for ample application. Work in small, manageable sections. Immediately after applying the stain to a section and allowing it a short time to penetrate (as it is a non-drying oil), use a clean rag to wipe off any excess stain. This step is absolutely critical. Failure to wipe off excess will result in a tacky surface that collects dirt and never fully dries, as demonstrated by the creator's past mistake. Pay close attention to corners, gaps, and areas where stain might pool. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3DTIMB9-df8 272 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/staining-a-deck-what-you-need-to-know-v1705964/complete-application-and-cleanup-c1650503 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3DTIMB9-df8/hqdefault.jpg Complete Application and Cleanup — Staining a Deck | What You Need To Know Once staining and wiping are complete, carefully remove all masking tape from the house surfaces.

These bumpers create a sufficient gap (approximately 1.25 inches) between the doors, allowing for adequate airflow and ventilation. This proper airflow is crucial for the water-based paint to dry and evaporate its chemicals, preventing common issues like warping. For hollow core doors, it's recommended to stack them vertically using the Door Deckers as temporary supports against a wall or drying rack after they've dried horizontally for at least 24 hours, to prevent long-term warping caused by moisture absorption. https://www.youtube.com/embed/K71DZBwWq9Q 22 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/door-deckers-painting-doors-laying-flat-v1705970/protips-for-optimal-use-c3315751 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K71DZBwWq9Q/hqdefault.jpg Pro-Tips for Optimal Use — Door Deckers | Painting Doors Laying Flat To prevent paint bridging and ensure clean removal of the Door Deckers, place a #6 washer between the Door Decker and the door before screwing it in. This creates a small separation. When securing the Door Deckers, use an impact drill to tighten the screws until the gap is completely closed and the tool is snug. This prevents play and wobbling, especially when stacking multiple doors high (up to 8-10 doors). Spraying doors 'down' (horizontally) allows for a thicker mil thickness and better coverage, potentially achieving a full color change in one coat. For hollow core doors, always stack them vertically after initial horizontal drying (at least a day) to prevent warping from moisture in the paint. The Door Deckers' bumper system can be used in hinge locations for vertical stacking, avoiding new holes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/K71DZBwWq9Q 259 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/door-deckers-painting-doors-laying-flat-v1705970/company-background-and-support-c3315752 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K71DZBwWq9Q/hqdefault.jpg Company Background and Support — Door Deckers | Painting Doors Laying Flat The presenter shares that Mr. Speed's Door Deckers were originally created in 1998 by Richard and Mary Speed, who started a painting company in 1979.

The presenter explains that failing to lock these mechanisms, especially when uneven pressure is applied (e.g., walking up one side of the ladder quickly), can cause a 'ladder snap' or 'lateral twist.' This violent movement can unexpectedly throw the user off the ladder, leading to severe injuries. Based on extensive professional experience, the presenter emphasizes that this is a very common and dangerous occurrence. Therefore, always visually check and confirm that both latches are securely locked before ascending or working on a ladder. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9JRgJUDFjbI 57 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/what-you-should-do-when-painting-a-room-dos-of-painting-v1706004/rotate-paint-roller-to-prevent-drips-c3319894 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9JRgJUDFjbI/hqdefault.jpg Rotate Paint Roller to Prevent Drips — What you SHOULD Do When Painting A Room | Do's of Painting. One of the 'dos' of painting technique is to effectively manage your paint roller to prevent drips. After loading the roller with paint from the pan, as you lift it and move it towards the wall, continuously rotate it. The presenter demonstrates this by spinning the roller while holding it on the extension pole. As long as the roller is rotated at a reasonable speed, drips will not form or fall. This technique is crucial for maintaining a clean workspace and avoiding unwanted paint marks. The presenter explicitly states that this same principle 'holds true with a brush' as well, implying that brushes should also be kept rotating or in motion to prevent paint from dripping when not actively applying it to a surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9JRgJUDFjbI 45 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/what-you-should-do-when-painting-a-room-dos-of-painting-v1706004/mask-electrical-fixtures-with-blockers-or-tape-c3319895 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9JRgJUDFjbI/hqdefault.jpg Mask Electrical Fixtures with Blockers or Tape — What you SHOULD Do When Painting A Room | Do's of P It is essential to mask off all light switches and electrical sockets before painting. The presenter introduces 'Socket Blockers' as a recommended tool, describing them as easy to 'peel, stick, paint,' and reusable. These clear plastic covers effectively block paint from reaching the electrical components. Alternatively, if 'Socket Blockers' are not available, you can use 1.5-inch masking tape. The presenter demonstrates wrapping a piece of tape around the switch to fully cover and protect it. Failing to mask these fixtures can lead to paint getting inside the switch or outlet, causing it to malfunction or creating a messy, unprofessional appearance.

However, their woven nature (compared to a pair of jeans) creates tiny 'bumps' where threads cross. During sanding, these imperfections can transfer to the workpiece, making it difficult to achieve a truly flat and smooth finish, which is crucial for high-quality furniture refinishing. Due to this, cloth abrasives are generally not recommended for applications where a flawless finish is desired. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 32 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-tips-sand-like-a-pro-v1706005/understanding-paper-abrasives-c3319787 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mBuDgn2kI/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Paper Abrasives — Sanding Tips | Sand Like A PRO Paper abrasives have historically been a preferred choice for finishing due to their flat surface, onto which abrasive grains are coated. This flat surface allows for a smooth application of the abrasive, leading to a better finish compared to cloth. However, the main drawback of paper abrasives is their fragility; they tend to tear easily, especially when used on edges or contoured surfaces during woodworking or furniture refinishing. This can lead to increased material consumption and interruption of work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 23 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-tips-sand-like-a-pro-v1706005/understanding-film-abrasives-c3319788 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mBuDgn2kI/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Film Abrasives — Sanding Tips | Sand Like A PRO Film abrasives are presented as the newest and most innovative development, providing the 'best of both worlds.' They feature a plastic backing, which is inherently flatter than paper and significantly more durable than both paper and cloth. This plastic base prevents tearing, even on edges, and allows for a consistently flatter surface during sanding. The combination of durability and flatness ensures a very good finish, often desirable for achieving a factory-like look in cabinet repainting and furniture refinishing. Film abrasives like Unida's Filmtec (blue) offer excellent edge wear and a superior finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-tips-sand-like-a-pro-v1706005/principles-of-effective-sanding-pressure-and-heat-c3319789 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mBuDgn2kI/hqdefault.jpg Principles of Effective Sanding: Pressure and Heat — Sanding Tips | Sand Like A PRO All abrasives function as cutting tools, akin to tiny knives. For optimal performance and finish quality, it's essential to apply minimal pressure, allowing the weight of the sanding tool (whether it's a 3x4 or 5-inch sander) to do the work. Over-application of pressure creates excessive friction and heat. Heat is identified as the 'kryptonite' to sandpaper because it causes the abrasive grains to loosen and detach, leading to shedding, premature wear, and 'loading' (clogging of the abrasive). These issues severely compromise the abrasive's effectiveness and the quality of the finish. The goal is always to 'run cool' to maintain sharp grains and prevent material degradation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 53 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-tips-sand-like-a-pro-v1706005/abrasive-grain-technology-and-friability-c3319790 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mBuDgn2kI/hqdefault.jpg Abrasive Grain Technology and Friability — Sanding Tips | Sand Like A PRO Abrasive grains are electrostatically coated, meaning they are designed to stand up with sharp tips. The concept of 'friability' is crucial: grains are designed to crack and resharpen as they wear, maintaining their cutting ability. Unida specializes in abrasives for wood, where specific grains are used. For aggressive cutting (e.g., 80-grit), brown aluminum oxide is used, as its dulling upon cracking is acceptable when removing a lot of material. However, for finer finishes (150 grit and above), pink and white aluminum oxides are used. These act more like silicon carbide, which is extremely hard but also brittle. This brittleness is beneficial because it allows the grains to easily crack and resharpen into two new cutting tools, preventing sanding through delicate topcoats and ensuring a consistent, fine scratch pattern. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 102 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-tips-sand-like-a-pro-v1706005/identifying-abrasives-and-preventing-loading-c3319791 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mBuDgn2kI/hqdefault.jpg Identifying Abrasives and Preventing Loading — Sanding Tips | Sand Like A PRO To distinguish between abrasive types: cloth abrasives are typically brown and feel distinctly like fabric, often not 'sterated' (referring to a top-coat that reduces loading). Paper abrasives can be identified by their tendency to tear easily. Film abrasives, like Unida's Filmtec (blue) or Ekasilk (yellow), are much harder to tear and have a distinct feel due to their plastic backing. 'Loading' occurs when sanding dust or particles get trapped between the abrasive grains, effectively dulling them and preventing them from cutting. This leads to increased heat, burning, and an ineffective sanding process. To prevent loading, it's crucial to use light pressure and choose an abrasive with an appropriate 'steration' (lubricant) topcoat, which helps materials slide out from between grains. Filmtec, with its advanced resin-based steration, provides superior coolant properties, aiding in cooler operation and preventing loading. While some coatings may cure slowly, leading to unavoidable loading, using the right abrasive with good steration significantly helps to mitigate this issue. For quick identification, a simple test is to try tearing the abrasive: paper will tear easily, while film and cloth will be much more resistant. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1mBuDgn2kI 303 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/mask-like-a-master-painter-pro-painting-tips-v1706006 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZcZv9NkFYWs/hqdefault.jpg Mask like a Master Painter.

These cloths come in 'Original' and 'Paint' versions and are described as larger (15.0" x 10.0"), tough, and fiercely clean. Extract one cloth from the pack. Observe its generous size, pliability, and high moisture content. The cloths are designed to be extremely durable and do not tear easily, even under pressure. They are also soft, ensuring they do not scratch surfaces or irritate skin. Use the cloth to clean paint sprayers, hands at the end of the day, and vehicles. Crucially, they are effective for removing paint overspray from various surfaces such as gutters, vinyl floors, tile, hardwood floors, and for cleaning paint splatter. For dried paint, apply the cloth directly to the residue and wipe. The demonstration shows cleaning dried paint from a wooden table, effectively removing the paint without damaging the finish of the table. The high moisture content allows for extended cleaning with a single cloth. These cloths are a highly recommended, versatile solution for cleaning up paint-related adhesive messes. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xUCooFI7iok 128 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-painted-cabinet-doors-master-cabinet-painting-v1706010 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pHD5hhrIF04/hqdefault.jpg Sanding Painted Cabinet Doors | Master Cabinet Painting This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to properly sand a painted cabinet door using an orbital sander and sanding sponges to achieve a smooth surface for optimal topcoat adhesion.

They emphasize the importance of using a specific type of orbital sander, specifically a 3x4 inch model, which they claim is ideal for cabinet painting. For painted cabinet doors, it's crucial to start with a fine grit abrasive, typically around 180 to 220 grit. This fine grit is necessary to effectively remove any existing clear coat and create a uniform scratch pattern that allows the new paint or topcoat to adhere properly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pHD5hhrIF04 65 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-painted-cabinet-doors-master-cabinet-painting-v1706010/machine-sanding-flat-surfaces-systematically-c3316208 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pHD5hhrIF04/hqdefault.jpg Machine Sanding Flat Surfaces Systematically — Sanding Painted Cabinet Doors | Master Cabinet Painti Attach the appropriate 180-220 grit sanding sheet to the 3x4 orbital sander, ensuring it's paired with a 10mm interface pad. Begin sanding the flat center panel of the shaker door. The recommended technique involves following a 'racetrack' pattern, moving systematically around the edges (rails and stiles) and then working inwards, side-to-side, to ensure no spots are missed. This systematic approach ensures uniform scratch distribution across the entire flat surface, which is critical for consistent topcoat adhesion. The 10mm pad helps to prevent accidental gouging of the wood around the raised profiles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pHD5hhrIF04 110 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-painted-cabinet-doors-master-cabinet-painting-v1706010/hand-sanding-recessed-profiles-c3316209 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pHD5hhrIF04/hqdefault.jpg Hand Sanding Recessed Profiles — Sanding Painted Cabinet Doors | Master Cabinet Painting For the recessed profiles and areas where the orbital sander cannot effectively reach, switch to a fine-grit sanding sponge. This tool allows for hand sanding within the smaller, contoured sections of the door, ensuring that every part of the surface receives a consistent scratch pattern. While the orbital sander excels on flat surfaces, a flexible sanding sponge is crucial for maintaining uniformity in detailed areas. The goal remains the same: to create a fine scratch for the new coating to adhere to, without aggressively removing material. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pHD5hhrIF04 92 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sanding-painted-cabinet-doors-master-cabinet-painting-v1706010/optimize-orbital-sander-speed-avoid-swirls-c3316210 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pHD5hhrIF04/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Orbital Sander Speed & Avoid Swirls — Sanding Painted Cabinet Doors | Master Cabinet Painti The discussion clarifies that while the 3x4 sander is an orbital sander, it operates with a direct drive, meaning it orbits in a circle rather than a random pattern like a random orbital sander. This direct drive characteristic means it's inherently more prone to leaving swirl marks, especially if used at high speeds on certain materials. The sander features variable speed control (+/- buttons). For delicate surfaces like MDF or HDF doors, it's beneficial to turn down the speed to achieve a gentler, more burnished finish, which helps in preventing visible swirls. If swirls are present before coating, they *will* show through the new paint, so ensure the surface is swirl-free. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pHD5hhrIF04 158 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sand-wood-the-right-way-with-pad-savers-v1706011 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbgASnxPgh8/hqdefault.jpg Sand Wood The RIGHT Way with Pad Savers This video provides an expert explanation on the proper use and benefits of pad savers and interface pads for orbital sanders, particularly for wood furniture sanding.

He admits to not having used this accessory previously but realizing its importance. He mentions that the pad saver is available as part of a kit from suppliers like Paint Life Supply Co or Uneeda's website, which includes the sander, a dust collection bag, various abrasives, and the pad saver itself. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbgASnxPgh8 38 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sand-wood-the-right-way-with-pad-savers-v1706011/understand-pad-savers-antiswirl-function-c3319693 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbgASnxPgh8/hqdefault.jpg Understand Pad Saver's Anti-Swirl Function — Sand Wood The RIGHT Way with Pad Savers Sherry explains that the primary function of the pad saver is to prevent 'swirling' on wood surfaces. Without a pad saver, the center panel of the sander can vibrate excessively, causing the abrasive sheet to 'catch' and 'skip' across the surface, leading to noticeable swirl marks. The pad saver works by absorbing some of these vibrations, allowing the abrasive to move more smoothly. While it significantly reduces swirl marks, it's important to note that a few may still be visible with any orbital sander. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbgASnxPgh8 36 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sand-wood-the-right-way-with-pad-savers-v1706011/extend-backup-pad-lifespan-c3319694 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbgASnxPgh8/hqdefault.jpg Extend Backup Pad Lifespan — Sand Wood The RIGHT Way with Pad Savers Beyond preventing swirl marks, the pad saver also serves to significantly extend the lifespan of the orbital sander's backup pad. Sherry demonstrates that repeatedly attaching and removing abrasive sheets stretches out the delicate hook-and-loop fasteners on the backup pad. Furthermore, the heat generated during sanding can cause these hooks to eventually straighten out, reducing their effectiveness and leading to the abrasive detaching during use. By using a pad saver as an intermediary layer, the backup pad is protected from this wear, saving money on replacements. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbgASnxPgh8 26 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sand-wood-the-right-way-with-pad-savers-v1706011/differentiate-pad-saver-and-interface-pad-c3319695 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbgASnxPgh8/hqdefault.jpg Differentiate Pad Saver and Interface Pad — Sand Wood The RIGHT Way with Pad Savers The host inquires if the pad saver might hinder achieving a flat finish. Sherry clarifies that while it absorbs vibration, it remains stiff enough to maintain flatness during sanding and allows for proper pressure application without excessive 'give'. This leads to a crucial distinction: a 'pad saver' is designed to maintain flatness and prevent swirl marks, particularly with sheet abrasives (like Filmtek or Ekastorm). An 'interface pad' (also known as a soft pad), on the other hand, is specifically designed with a slight 'give' to allow the abrasive to conform to contours and curves, preventing damage to the profile of detailed wood pieces, such as cabinet doors. Sherry confirms that a pad saver should always be used with Filmtek (plastic abrasive) and Ekastorm (paper abrasive) sheets to prevent issues like the sander 'walking' on the surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbgASnxPgh8 89 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/sand-wood-the-right-way-with-pad-savers-v1706011/summarize-and-reinforce-terminology-c3319696 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbgASnxPgh8/hqdefault.jpg Summarize and Reinforce Terminology — Sand Wood The RIGHT Way with Pad Savers The host reiterates the benefits of using a pad saver, expecting fewer swirl marks and greater sanding success in the future. He then attempts to correctly identify the accessories discussed, initially mixing up 'pad saver' and 'interface pad'. Sherry gently corrects him, emphasizing that the discussed item for flat sanding and backup pad protection is specifically the 'pad saver', and an interface pad is a distinct product with a different function (contour sanding). The host concludes by stating the pad saver is very important, especially when using film abrasives or paper abrasives. https://www.youtube.com/embed/XbgASnxPgh8 63 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tool-review-of-pro-painters-tools-v1706012 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-nd3k2NLXhY/hqdefault.jpg Tool Review of Pro Painters Tools This video provides a detailed review of three painting tools: the Corner+ roller frame, the American Mallard paintbrush, and the 2-Edge putty knife.
