Part 2/8:
Throughout the day, the builder works diligently, measuring, cutting, and fixing the deck. He notes that most of the boards are fitting well, except for an end section where misalignment and uneven posts cause complications. Specifically, he identifies that a rim joist—one of the supporting beams—sits behind a post, leading to unevenness and difficulty in securing boards.
In response, he plans to rectify the issue by installing additional two-by-four framing to straighten the rim joist. He candidly admits to making mistakes, including rushing in hot weather, which resulted in some boards not fitting perfectly and imperfections in the wall covering. Despite setbacks, he reassures viewers that he will improve the aesthetics with new siding and finishing touches.
