So much better than the block of death.

That dewalt 90° driver adapter is pretty cool.

I've never seen these types of stair stringers before. What a great idea. When in doubt, go to YouTube, never know what you can learn.

[Donna-vhym]

I know this is a year old, but I've always enjoyed watching and learning from you both. "Sad stairs are good stairs" is something I'll never forget. Thank you sir. As usual, great job.

[nodramagrama]

Haha . I’m waiting on my stringers to arrive & I thought I’d type in “how to make stairs with metal stringers” & you guys popped up. Thanks guys.

Angela's got a nice little place to work. Well organized for maximum production.

[kayhenry]

The metal stringers look awesome! Thanks for ‘stringing’ us along.

[anibalruiz]

The wife and I just bought a barebone mobile home and your videos have given me so much confidence to get the renovation started!

[rdkesselus]

Love the plain spoken-ness of your presentation and the two of you together are a hoot. So genuine, so real.

[crystalr]

Great video! I've been doing stairs for years and never thought of the secondary reason for sad stairs. Your explanation is perfect for that secondary reason. I'm in the middle of installing these same stringers and it's the first time I'm using these. Was looking for an easier way to attach the top of them. I'm going against a foundation block wall. Wish me luck, I forget how it went together when I installed these stairs like 15 years ago. Still tearing out the rotted stairs, but should be done today with the project. Thanks for the video!

I pet sit for a couple that need these on their back door. They only have some cinder blocks and I'm getting too old to step out on icy blocks. Will send them a link to this video. 😄

Those metal stringers are awesome! I ordered those off Amazon for $35 a pair. I ordered 2 sets because my steps are 6 feet wide when I open both doors of my she shed and I wanted to use 3 stringers. I followed your directions and they installed perfectly straight, level, rock solid sturdy and EASY! I stained my steps to match the paint on my building. Beautiful! I am a 69 year old great-grandma of 4 and I was able to do these steps all by myself!!! Thanks a million for sharing your video :-)

[dtee]

alternatively to using that right angle attachment for drill, install stairs on first while upsidedown. Then just flip it and attach to trailer as last step

[rubberdc]

What a simple idea of the wing nut, you see the thought behind that was the simplest ever, well done to the person who suggested it .

[debbiehails]

I really like watching your videos! The videos make me smile or laugh when you two are together but also learn something new or having creative ideas. I'm so glad Angie has her own place to make her soaps!😊

[janetstone]

Thanks so much for showing these 2 step black metal stringers - I had just purchased 2, 3-step wood as I am adding on 2 steps to a new landing, but I like this 'floating' look as it will be indoors on top of Eng. hardwood flooring. [suggest next time to assemble the steps onto the frame, and then attach it to the shed.]

[muntzmontychan-shing]

The 2 of you are just great together, Looks like you have much fun.

[dircia]

Love and stairs too you so clever Sam now Angela will busy in her soap shack congratulations 🎈🎊🎉

[ramman]

Good to see you finally "stepped" up and completed the job

[jesusislord]

Just an idea: Got a saw mill close by to pick up some free slats to make a hand rail?
Great job on the steps! 💖 yaw!!! I miss seeing the ferrels!😘
