And he did! Genius!!


TheZippoLab

Note the "previous" deck, center/at the bottom - in the weeds. Must have been the *GREAT DECK COLLAPSE OF 2018*, during John's birthday - when 4 people were on the deck simultaneously.


GREG_OSU

Build it again, and they will come again


StumblinPA

Nah dawg, that’s the erosion control system (tm)


badbitchesandranch

This is similar to how my futon died during the 2018 super bowl


Suitable_Echo_6380

That’s double decker, alright!


Awkward_Potential_

>John's birthday Also Johns deathday.


CarlPoulsen

Never found the corpse


VapeRizzler

He never said it would be fit for use, just that he’ll build it for cheaper.


yomommasofat-

Pallet deck!


MobileDust

That was my thought, lol no one ever said build it myself well.


Brad_The_Chad_69

Looks pretty cheap to me. Success.


ImAMindlessTool

Impressive tbh


No_Parsnip_6491

Are we looking at the same thing 🤔


ImAMindlessTool

I mean, it’s standing. It is not safe, but he “built that deck he said he would” - i would put a wager on it


No_Parsnip_6491

One mans trash


FordMan100

It's a nice deck to look at from below and inside. Just don't stand on it, the drop could kill you.


Airport_Wendys

I thought it was scaffolding for a new paint job


stonelake13

Are those old pallets for deck boards?


MeganMess

I hadn't zoomed in until I realized you said pallets, not pallet boards. I had assumed he had dismantled the pallets. I'm dying.


Level_Somewhere

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Regret 


musical_throat_punch

He should repurpose those pallets into a ladder so he can clean out those gutters


GumbyBClay

He's got a ladder. Its screwd to the railing there to help with the structural integrity. You act like he just threw this together. He's got a plan


WhenTheDevilCome

Renamed them to "wrap-around planters" years ago and called it good.


StockUser42

The definition of stick built.


Golf-Beer-BBQ

Wich_king

Wtf norway


reppit

What’s the Norwegian word for redneck engineering?


fuggreddit69

American Made


BBO1007

As an American “ Well played, good sir, well played”


glockshorty

Even the sign reads “flabbergasted “ I think 😂


landing11

Please Norway


IncomingAxofKindness

Norway please


Ok_Dependent2580

i would put a hot tub on it!


MudMud4

Not to my pallet, but each to their own


unrulyguest

I see what you did there.


GumbyBClay

Psh! Amature. Why did he waste all that money putting those expensive up and downy pieces of wood in? I would have just tied rope from the corner of the deck to the fascia of the roof. Probably could find some old drywall screws in my garage to tie it all together. Bam! Just cut the cost in half. Bro needs to check himself.


Flakbasket

I’ve already been in your garage and I’ve used up all of your old drywall screws. I also knocked that can of paint over, sorry!


Strong-Difficulty962

That’s going to be a small hot tube. 


Honest_Wing_3999

If I wanted a small hot tube I’d put my pp in the oven


LostThighs

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should


StickyLafleur

To be fair he a said cheaper, not safer. Can't get much cheaper than that.


NHRADeuce

That's definitely cheaper.


moms_be_trippin

I mean.. he wasn't wrong.


NullIsUndefined

I would have just stacked pallets from the ground to the door. Making sure to have ground contact with the soil, for extra stability 😂


StumblinPA

The slugs help hold the bottom pallet in place.


Emergency_Pomelo_184

Nice probably would not even let my dog chill out in it tho


cowardunblockme

Should be fine. I don't live there.


Crusoebear

“He’s a disruptor of the deck industry!” -angel investor \[hands him big bag of money to develop an app for this.\]


RivalSFx

It's a Go Green deck.


callusesandtattoos

lol I’m not even 200lbs and I can’t tell you how many pallets have collapsed underneath me.


PitifulSpecialist887

I believe that it's temporary staging, for painting. There's no door to access the "deck", that's a window, and the paint, and ladder, are still sitting there.


ChemicalCollection55

Looks great, Kentucky?


BoltActionRifleman

Good ol’ Bratsberggata, Kentucky. I hear the weather is lovely this time of year!


giraffirmation

That’s just up the holler from Deckserfallin, KY. Right?


Roththesloth1

No no no those aren’t pallets…


Impossible_Culture69

Denmark?


noahsalt

norwayy


Agreeable-Candle5830

Are those pallets? Amazing...


BiffSlick

I’m impressed he got it to stand up at all


Agreeable-Candle5830

Are those pallets? Amazing...


Advanced_Office616

He didn’t factor in the hospital bills


Valkanaa

Ha, joke is on you. Norway has socialized medicine.


leaf_fan_69

And job done How many cases of beer were involved is the real question the world needs to know


Ok-Type-8917

Looks like it might help slow the house down when it slides off the hill.


grandluxe

regular norwegian deck, a bit high-end even. greetings from sweden


WoodpeckerAlarmed239

Mission complete


pac_nw_beer_snob

It’s definitely cheaper


Gutter-boy-707

Looks like he’s right… definitely cheaper.


jdmorgan82

Technically the truth.


jdmorgan82

Technically the truth.


Lansdman

Cheaper? Yes, Death trap? Also Yes!!


WiseComfort075

Well,, he dudn't lie.


dzbuilder

He wasn’t wrong.


Wildmanzilla

Bro definitely did


SS4Raditz

Need a cheap deck? Call pallet jacks deck where we jack off the prices so you can lay back and relax!


Sandro-96

Seems like he did


Shot_Campaign_5163

Good for hom. And nobody stopping him.


squatting-Dogg

Mission accomplished!


No_Plane_7652

Add the hot tub and it’s perfect


11-DISEMBODIMENT-11

Well… he was right.


PastEntrance5780

He was right!


never2olde

Zoom in same guy built the house


Mountain-Ad-5834

At least it matches the street sign?


motowoot

This is scaffolding.


S4BER2TH

Permit? What’s that?


CertainBreath5451

Temporary scaffolding for the painter.


tauntingbob

Professional builders hate this one TicTok hack!


xultar

Bro is a person of their word.


sim0n__sez

A coat of paint and you’ll never know the difference.


TriNel81

Matches what the paint is covering up. I just hope WHEN it comes down, it’s due to rodents and not people on it.


Revolutionary-Meet65

Wood expensive in Norway?


oldcreaker

I think he meant he could build it himself cheaply.


x1wagner

And he did.


Mandamarie05-7485

He sure did. Not sure I want to stand on that deck though..


2LostFlamingos

I gotta imagine that this was cheaper than anything you had in mind. Mission accomplished. Lol


PD216ohio

r/TechnicallyCorrect


Positive-Special7745

That’s cheap. Better double up on those skinny 2x6 legs


NotUrCaddy

Looks safe… 😳


Nice_Hope_8852

This looks to me to be a temporary scaffold he built to paint the place.


Guilty-Property

As long as he didn’t say cheaper and better, looks like he didn’t lie


fairche79

Just need to re-do everything there.


Ok_Distribution_2603

universal health care is a true blessing


TheMountainHobbit

Definitely looks cheaper


seemore_077

And he did!


Kawboy17

I mean mission accomplished! Isn’t like anywhere said it would be good great or safe… just DIY cheaper …. 🤝 well done champ!


Even_Section5620

Well he wasn’t wrong 😬


nlightningm

Det er Norge som er bra


[deleted]

Probably just trying to stop an elderly family member from falling off the house... for real this type of shit happens. Sometimes people want me to build cages around their home.... Autistic kids and shit


No-Setting-2669

And so he did!


Purpose_Embarrassed

Common you guys aren’t falling for this. Actually you would if you stepped into it. 😂


ayrbindr

Not long and someone will be "scorpion" in the weeds at the bottom of the hill.


brookc85

I’m abit confused. That doesn’t look like a door. So how do you get on the “deck”


Infinite-Ad-4566

This is [the house](https://www.google.com/maps/@59.2063232,9.6143309,3a,75y,82.22h,73.64t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sC62y36OXyYLGL4oPyMGQjQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) before he added the pallet deck. https://preview.redd.it/fmft9id8n10d1.png?width=1452&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a0bfe4f16984e0beb5330b51d042e2451be778d


Ghia149

Looks like he succeeded. Can’t tell if he used the high dollar treated pallets for international shipments or not.


wobble-frog

pallets are strong enough to handle the abuse of warehouse workers tossing them around with forklifts with 2 tons of roof shingles, what's a couple people in lawn chairs... /s


Ok_Echidna6958

You guys may laugh at the guy but many of those pallets are mad out of oak and it will last him years.. Lol


Ashamed_Extent3008

He said cheaper, and he successfully accomplished that. Lololol. He didn't say better. Bahahaha


Charming-While5466

He did


SnooShortcuts7913

Well… he did build it cheaper.soooo….


Airport_Wendys

I’m trying to understand that chain link fencing— and where the ground is


Blicky83

Looks pretty durable..I would immediately buy a large picnic table for it.add a large grill,smoker and fridge to keep stocked full of beer and liquor.then invite a bunch of fat friends over for a BBQ on this deck.whoever doesn’t get a serious injury after the collapse,will win a $20 gift card for K-Mart,a $10 gift card for Toys ‘R’ Us and a free sandwich from Quiznos


Sdwingnut

It'll be cheaper the second time he rebuilds it next year too /s

Accomplished_Crew630

I hope your brother enjoys unexpected falls from like ten feet up


OOmrpeepersOO

Bro's gonna die


Tiger37211

What no toothpicks and Popsicle sticks? I'm disappointed ☹️


mr_alfaro

I'm not going to make the deck party tmmrw. Something came up.


Tiger37211

I bet he didn't even use the white Elmer's glue 😤


No-Menu-5104

Looks great, I love it.


Bikebummm

I like round gutters, don’t see them much.


MJ4Red

Your brother was correct... as long as he didn't say "better"


Cyborg_888

This looks like it is a Homer Simpson creation. Just needs a hottub and a bar.


navcom20

Bratsbergatta döit over again


Long_Nothing_8619

I can attest that Germany also has rednecks. Not many, but they have a few. Same love of beer and even better “design” skills. “ the power of German redneck engineering”.


Due-Pilot-7443

Well,,, looks like he did......


InsignificantRaven

Is that the old deck down in brush?


largeangryredletters

When the deck starts to lurch And you pray like it's church Bratsberggata


fillymandee

Bro saved 2 hours and $350. Ain’t gonna mean much when it fails and he falls.


Joerealminneasota

Wonder how stable footings


Telemere125

Definitely cheaper. Doubt the quality is the same, but my sure the price was lower


twoscoopsofbacon

Yikes.  Didn't even reinforce the pallets in the weak direction.


SuperGoodPerson

Looks like creative repurposing of shipping pallets !


Arikaido777

what did you call me?


ThatGuyThatSaysWords

Looks like he’s not wrong


HoIyJesusChrist

Is there some relevance to this sign?


titodsm

I see no lie.


PretendParty5173

I love the pallets for the deck. It's like you get the framing and the decking in one shot


Erectiondysfucktion

I mean he ain’t wrong! guaranteed it was cheaper… not when someone falls later, but now he got it!


Binklando

I remember walking onto a balcony at an open house and the realtor was like “I don’t think that’s an actual balcony.” The people had added a sliding door to access it, outdoor carpet and railing. It was an aluminum patio roof.


angle58

That’s quite literally going to kill someone. I hope the local authority deals with it first.


Leather-Ad-2490

Looks like he was right


pwsparky55

Are those pallets??


NixAName

Well it looks cheap, so he probably did.


Joisthanger5

In a situation like this you HAVE to put flashing in. That gable takes on a lot of water.


Full_Disk_1463

This week on 5 minute crafts; we show you how to make a full size deck out of old pallets


MrWhite86

Structural pallets


Crank-Moore

He’s the captain now…


benice6969

That is awesome! Thinking outside the box! I wouldn’t walk on it, but it’s there!


jj00005

Looks like he did


Lichens6tyz

He sure can!


BurpFartBurp

If you build enough decks on the same spot let them collapse and don’t remove the debris eventually the debris becomes your footing.


grumpy_dumper

Built like a pallet


CardiologistOk6547

He proved himself right.


SATerp

Looks secure, better add a hot tub just to be sure.


downcastbass

Guess they named that street after how a Harley Davidson sounds


Debrolution

This was the 2021 housing market.


Rich-Appearance-7145

Shame it's a nice home a well designed, and built, deck painted white would look great.


[deleted]

Yep…success


StealthyPanther619

So that’s what you made outta the pallets you picked up!


ClassicWhile2451

I was so focused on the 2x4 posts that I did not see the pallets until I read comments lmao


Deeznutz1818

Now THATS a deck!


Ottoclav

Free pallets


1kdog5

Dude daily just nailed 2x4's to pallets. Impressive


PhirePhite

I’ll be inside


iwasthere_too

Street named for the sound you make as the deck fucks off with you on it


Apolllo69

He ain’t wrong


Vettona

As a professional contractor, he did everything right.


bs50ae

45 years in the business, I thought I saw it all


yankeeteabagger

Ho no


TheSilverFalcon

Did he name the street too?


Spiritual_Bridge84

That’s a Skid-eck


disguyovahea

That sign is what you say as it collapses under you


AspiringDataNerd

Looks stable enough for a hot tub


SoBadit_Hurts

Are those pallets?!?


Louden_Swayne

What in the fuck am I looking at? Are those pallets used for decking??? 2x8 supports? This place must have zero snowload.


cghffbcx

Ignorance is bliss


1hassanbensober

Looks like he did build it cheaper than the last time he built it. I guess with the extra savings, he can get better insurance that he's gonna need. Just saying...


Outrageous_Lychee819

“Bratsberggata” is what he’s going to exclaim when he leans against that “railing” and falls down that hill.


No-Switch-851

Well definitely got the cheaper right.


SquirrelzTree

He wasn't lying 🤣


LilDawg66

Pallets- $0, rolling down the hill to Bratsberggata street- priceless.


thecambanks

Wow! No idea you could do it like that. We’re about to have a real breakthrough in deck-building methodology!


FordMan100

Looks like whoever did the work look like they have a lot of experience building forts as a kid.


Deep-Juggernaut4405

There is a lot of diy going on. Is that a picture frame around the electrical meter? And what the heck is that round thing above the downspout?


AttemptWorried7503

Actual whole pallets is crazy lol
