I Really Didn't Want To Find This Under The Staircase

Uncovering all the rot is important. Getting rid of it will mean a nice solid house when you are finished.

without all that enclosed, it shows a wonderful staircase. The rotted parts can be replaced or sistered for strength.
Billy's dad saves the old wood from the convent. You might be able to find replacement parts for the stairs.

In the future consider using a vacuum to clean up. Dry rot is a fungus and letting the dust spread can expose healthy wood to future rot. You need surgical cleanliness. Not to mention it can cause nasty health issues. You need to look after your health and your house. Keep up the great content!

I am proud of you Ryan. You are are doing this on your own. You took the bull by the horns and put your renovation fears aside. Keep up the good work.

Ryan,
an added safety note -along with the mask and gloves ... WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

I enjoy hearing from voice over Ryan when you are working alone.
He keeps us informed when you are being a busy bee.

The renovations are progressing right along!

Oh my god that cellar dweller gave me such a fright 😆 Like a shriek and recoil and then embarrassed laughter. Feeling a lot more awake now.

I knew you were going to scare us with the basement thing. 😂 That staircase is going to be a gorgeous focal point. Fireplace will be too. Great job Ryan. I was so happy to see you today. Much love.

I only mention this because YOU brought up the topic of protective gear: glasses and helmet. Just as proper footwear and gloves have become normal for you, glasses and helmet will also become second nature in a work zone if you use them all the time. Apprentices usually learn this early or don't last long-- losing time by sitting in urgent care with careless injuries is generally frowned upon. Our last apprentice wound up there doing overhead work without glasses and got a metal shaving in his eye-- about the size of a small eyelash. Aside from being very painful, the risk of serious damage is real.

well done Ryan for remembering to tidy up!!! Billys influence is showing through. Those banisters look really classy.

[carreyn]

Great idea Ryan, exposing the staircase, once you are at the point of polishing it and leaving it as a focus throughout would be gorgeous.

The bones of the staircase are beautiful Ryan! The rotten parts can be repaired or replaced and sanded and a few coats of osmo. Keep up the good work Ryan.🇨🇦🙏🏼❤️

Ryan, I love seeing you tackle the work all by yourself! So proud of you!

I grew up in a house with Wood spiral staircase. It's been my experience that they need to be enclosed to keep their strength. Each one of the lath strips that was nailed in provided support and kept it from flexing.

I like it when there’s a voice over segment. It’s relaxing and more descriptive.

[saudilass]

Oh Ryan, thank goodness you found the rotten risers this way and not by falling through the staircase 😮 So happy you found this so soon .

[Burbankelly]

What a jewel to have the staircase still! It’s going to be lovely!

[ImTheDudeMan]

***1)Flat part of stair you step on = "Tread"; Vertical part between tread = "Riser". Treads and Risers. Now you are good to go. 2)The noise in the basement might be the female ghost from the convent apartment following you to your new house. Imagine how lonely a ghost might be. Be kind and she will be humor)

[karentrokey]

You are so good at antiquing I am sure you will find the perfect staircase for your basement.

[MasonLady]

Ryan, BUILD the basement steps, don't BUY them. Save hundreds!

[bonniebrewer]

The voice over is fine. As long as it's you and not that annoying AI voice that everyone is using.
