21 Aug 2021All About Deck Code with Glenn Mathewson // Episode 14401:40:12

We had the Deck Code Expert, Glenn Mathewson, from the Building Code College to discuss the topic of Building codes but specifically in regards to decks. The contractor generally views code as deterrent placed on them from doing their jobs. Glenn see's code in a much different light. Code is the cookbook for which Gourmet and life changing designs can come out of. The Code is a freeing tool that shows us the guidelines on known ways of doing things at this current point in time.

There is also a great opportunity for the contractor to influence the new and upcoming codes with their expertise and knowledge of current building methods. This can be done by signing up for an account at www.cdpaccess.com

This podcast was super interesting and definitely changed the way that I look at Building Codes!

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.
