Glad you didn’t cut out the “oops” 😅. So cute. Also great video! I am literally following your step by step refinishing process on my 100+ year old stairs. Thanks!
@d.s.6882 hey, I can't remember the brand but I would recommend using an oil based waterproofing because it's easier to put on and you won't have to pressure washer to take it off
Hi, I'm following your directions to build a memorial box filled with new dog toys for people (in memory of my dog). Your clarity and directions have allowed me almost complete this project, and I'm a novice--Very well done! As I'm a novice, I cannot wrap my brain around your bottom frame involving 24 inch cuts. When installed with pocket screws to the front and back, I have the total bottom being 29 inches long (24 inch cuts, and the addition of 2.5 inches from the front structure and 2.5 inches from back structure). When the 5 bottom boards are screwed in, they will have a width 27.5 inches long (5.5x5). In my mind, there will be 1.5 inches that will not be covered on the bottom. I'm missing something in my calculations, right?
At first I thought you were doing piano stairs... I didn't like that. now I see... you're just smort. I'd have done all of the stairs and then just.... Not gone upstairs for a day...
@@tavonb6478 I recommend doing th 2nd or 3rd coat of polyurethane before you walk on them. I waited 24 hours after my final coat before walking on them.
I want to do this as well for my stairs. I’m glad I found your video, very helpful. We have what I believe is golden oak. I would like to make them more of a Smokey grey look, do you think that’s possible? Thank you in advance.
It may be possible. Make sure to sand down any previous stain and apply the right stain that matches the color you're going for. Make sure to test a small area first and let it dry to see if you like it before doing all the stairs.
Hi. This video and detailed explanations, step by step just encouraged me to build an outside storage box. Thank you for making it so clear and easy to follow. Just to tell you, I am 75, and you gave me he courage to build exactly what I need. 😊
Hey watching this video because I’m interested in just doing it myself. What did you apply on the floor after removing the parquet flooring before applying the new floor?
@@TheDehelwitya Here is a video of me installing underlayment and laminate flooring: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I6H14BBI5zs.html&ab_channel=RenoForLess
@@renoforless I suppose the best place to cut it as I'm going to have to is just under the lip where you can't see it. You know the rounded part at the tip of the stair. I was just looking for help on how to cut it.
