JLC LIVE's Educational Tracks in Portland Puts a Lot of Emphasis on Decks!

If you build, design or waterproof decks, you probably want to get to Portland in December!

JLC Live has a few educational tracks for all of you. The first are on Wednesday Dec 4th  

W02 - Deck Design Application Workshop and CAD Software

Kim Katwijk

There must be 40 design applications out there. Which one is easy to learn? What can give me the edge over the other deck builders? How much does it cost? If you still draw your decks on paper, it is time to come to the 21st century. We will explore most of the CAD software available, what they do well, what they can't do, and what you can make them do!  Break out of the box. There's more to deck design than right angles. In this session you will learn how to:

• Utilize CAD software effectively
• Use simple geometric shapes to create something unimaginable
• Advance your bottom line by learning how to give your clients numerous design options

Next up is 

W05 - Construction and Waterproofing Methods for Walking Decks and Tile Covered Decks

Bill Leys

Waterproofed decks and/or tile-covered waterproof decks rate high on the list of components claimed to have construction defects. Sadly, many of those claims are true. This session will teach you the best construction practices needed to keep you and the deck contractor out of the court room. The first half of this session will discuss pedestrian deck systems and the best building practices necessary to construct a well built long lasting deck assembly. After, time for Q&A and the second half of the session continues with instruction on tile roof decks and how to properly build and waterproof them for a system that will last 30+ years. Learning objectives in this session include:

• Best practices my company subscribes to when installing new waterproofing systems for tile. 
• Best practices in building and framing a deck that will receive tile, which materials are available for waterproofing tile decks.
• How to properly sequence the waterproofing of the deck with the construction of the building.
• Tile Council of North America standards and methods for tile decks.
• Reduce your risk of exposure to liability. 

Thursday's educational tracks include

T05 - Deck Engineering

Kim Katwijk

This technical seminar focuses on deck engineering and the skills necessary to successfully design and build decks of any size and shape. From the decking down to the footings, you will learn about load paths, spans, beam placements, connections, footings, cost evaluation, railings, stairs, ledgers, point loading and deck covers.  You will acquire building techniques that extend the life of a deck by discouraging the growth of rot. Whether you've been in the industry for 20 months or 20 years as an owner, manager or lead carpenter, these are valuable methods you will be able to take back to your jobs.

There's lots more educational tracks on building-from drywall to new construction technologies...sign up now at JLCLIVE! .http://nw.jlclive.com/Attendee/ShowInfo

Decking demo's, manufacturer's and more all at JLC. See you there on December 4th!

From Fire Chief- Congressional leaders, builders to discuss home vulnerabilities to wildfires

Saw this on a blog site...hope they are going to talk about decks and how concrete coatings can reduce the possibility of homes igniting...

"On November 12, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) and the BuildStrong Coalition will meet with congressional leaders at the IBHS Research Center in Richburg, S.C., to explore solutions to make the U.S. more resilient to natural disasters. Rep. Bill Shuster [R-PA], chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and Rep. Lou Barletta [R-PA} the chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, will lead a congressional delegation to tour of the research center and observe a demonstration of home ignition vulnerabilities in the 38 states that are at risk to wildfire, the IBHS said."
