Deck foundations... how important are they? The answer to that is question is VERY IMPORTANT. With that out of the way, we can start talking about all the different types of foundations that exist out there and which one is the best for you.
Shane and Bryce go through all foundations types that are most popular for each deck out there and speak to the requirements that are generally needed where they are used.
Do you know of some more foundation technology that we didn't talk about today?

May is deck safety month and we decided the first episode of this safety oriented month should be geared towards things a homeowner should check on their deck every year!
These issues can happen on any deck, they can be safegaurded against too, but if they persist without being fixed it can lead to catastrophic failure. Which lead us into a whole conversation about permit inspectors...

We went up the chain last week. This week we turned it back on ourselves. Look at all of the stuff that we used to do in order to start and run a lumber yard. Its amazing that we succeeded past year 2. The most important lesson here is that each time one of those mistakes came up we didn't let it take us down. We got to the root of it and attempted to fix the problem each and every time until it was fixed for good.
If you want to have a few laughs and see what TUDS was like in the beginning listen to this one.

It depends. I think the best way to decide if you should be in a Homeshow this spring is to decide what you want out of it...then you will have your answer.
There are two ways to approach each Homeshow. You can do a hybrid of these but its usually better to stick to just one. We will go through both in detail. We did this one LIVE from a homeshow so its pretty fitting!

If you are a Deck Builder in a seasonal climate your most likely take some time off every year when the weather turns from nice to crappy. In Saskatchewan most of the Builders shutdown around November and don't start back up again until late February or early March. This leaves you lots of down time to make your business that much better than last year. So what should you do with your off season?
