Thank you for the video. Rebuilding a deck myself with composite and am now down to the stairs. Due to rot, I had to rebuild from scratch. You can cover a lot of valuable information points regarding. Much appreciated!

Well done Nick. Your craftsmanship is self evident. Nice clear explanation.

[paulmonk]

Nothing personal, but for something that is simple for you, the longer you talk, the more complicated it becomes for us. There are adjustments and compensations that are confusing, making it no longer simple. 😊

Great vid. Refreshing to see a good educational vid for others to learn the correct way to build a set of stairs. Thank you for fine details and sharing!

[dcauninaivonarck]

Thank you for showing the whole thing, and the long videos!
I often set youtube filters for longer videos since I get to see details, tips, and also the thought process of the work.

Great job on explanation and cuts. The framing square brass nuts (Stops) have legs. "Tip" place a 1/4" steel washer between them before tightening down. If short one, Menards and other home improvement stores sell a broom-handle with a large 4" magnet on the end to pull, drag, roll thru the grass to pick them up especially with grass is dead looking brown. Works great on bits, screws and other fasteners.
Angle cut help sheds waters. First first time DIY always pay a little for foot longer board and treaded. Good point on drainage at foot-base board with gravel. Also adding sealer and I hand dug holes for fence poles 48". If no medium rock handy, trim bottom to pencil shape to reduce surface area for frost to push on as low area's can let water soak deeper. You only let that happen once. Good job and nice trailer!

Very well explained i like your videos

[richarddrempel]

Thanks for sharing this clear information video.

Why didn't you design it so that the top of the stringer was even with the top of the rim joist?😮 That would give it a better mounting surface.

[bababooey]

This was really good. Good job. I noticed your shirt. If that is cazenovia in NY I’m right in the finger Lakes. Good job again

[Mckenziebwood]

I practiced on four 8ft boards before ruining 16 footers. Paying attention to the crown I found to be very important. Where your line ends vs the crown of the board really messed me up at first.

[jaked]

Are the straps the only thing holding the stringers to the frame? Is there a reason not to use a structural screw from the added framing into the stringer? I'm about to do my 1st set of stairs next week!

[chasmofsar]

I'm assuming if 2x10's meet code for stringers, they are also spaced closer together to account for the lower weight tolerance of a 2x10 stringer, no?

[sissymurphy]

joist hangers that are angled are better

[Dontexxr]

A bit confused on where you got 75 and 5/8 and not 76 1/2 because 7/8=10.9375 then multiply by 7 would give you the total run. From header to end of stringer.

7:24 Ah. So... that's why I had to run out to buy new pair of nuts. Stair nuts, I mean. AKA "stair gauges" but they don't "gauge" anything.
