Thank you! Exactly what I am planning to build for a step for my... too high for me... landing for my new deck. Carol

Good one! I grew up by my Dad's side as he made DIY repairs because we could have never afforded to pay someone to do the work but he still wanted to improve our home. I learned all about tools and methods from him. I love seeing your children there with you. Even if the girls never have to pick up a hammer, they know what it takes to do DIY and the tools to use. That is a lifetime treasure they already have from you. I raised my stepson the same way. I told him that I hope he can always pay someone else and he at least knows what the work actually takes and what it is worth. Not surprisingly, he prefers to DIY things that he can do with the tools he has. Thank you for keeping this a family friendly channel!

Thank you for this! My dog is elderly and has trouble getting on my deck. This will definitely help him!

Nice job, super simple, but adding that one step makes a huge difference with your deck. Keep up the great work inspiring other. 👍🏼

I’d like to thank you for this great video. I made my step today for my senior dogs and it’s so much better! Your instructions were spot on! 👌😊

I’m impressed with your attention to detail and the skill with the drill. Craftsmanship in simple things….respect!

Great video man this is exactly what I needed for the patio entrance in our house we just got. Love the impending doom shirt too

Just wondering. Wouldn’t it have been a good idea to secure the middle support board to the back board before attaching the back board to the porch? And then securing the middle board in to the front board and then applying the top step boards?

With certain projects, I definitely need to get better at making the installation process a part of my assembly process (I.e. securing the back board to structure, then attaching the step unit. I think there are many opportunities to do this but I end up try to attach it assembled with bad angles on screw heads. This will help me to think these things through more often. Thanks. Really like your channel.

How many deck boards did you need for this?

[vaibhavkesarwani]

What is the size of the wood that you start with?

[lujeana]

Love this. Wouldn't it have been easier to leave the front off and mount?

[nightqueen]

Looks great! We're renting a house and the front door entrance definitely needs a step. I think this would be perfect...but I need it to be temporary, so I wouldn't attach it to the house. Do you think that would work? I don't have those electric saws...it would be hard work, but I'm sure I could do it by hand. Lol.

For the support board in the middle, in the video you mention that it is secured from the front, and then wait to screw it in on the back. In the video it doesn't look like the middle support was attached to the back. Is that correct? Thanks.

[terrancebrown]

what size wood did you us? is that a 2x4 or 2x6?

…and here I just dug a hole so I could eventually level the ground and you didn’t even dig a hole.. I probably should have done what you did.
