How to Build a Deck | DIY Deck Extension

In this video, I tackle helping my brother-in-law add to his existing builder-grade deck. His home is a DR Horton built home and it came with a very basic 10ft. x 10ft deck with no stair access off of the deck which made accessing the backyard a major pain. So he decided that he wanted to double the size of his deck by basically building another 10ft x 10ft deck attached to his existing deck. This seemed like a relatively simple deck build for a couple of DIYers to tackle on their own. Now I must claim, that we are NOT professionals so everything you see us doing might not be 100% the proper way to do things but we did try to educate ourselves on building codes, etc. before tackling this project so we had the best chance of doing everything correctly. There were a few small mishaps along the way that we made work but overall I think this deck turned out really nice! Having a deck that is now double in size is going to make a big difference for my brother-in-law and his family. Not to mention the stair access that we added! I hope you guys enjoy the video!
