DIY How to Build a Stairs on a Hill or Slope Part 1 

Hi Theresa You are very welcome. If you have pictures of process and completed project, I love seeing them. You can post them at my instagram page😁 Blessings

@@berghorstcountryliving7098 yes i would enjoy sending pic. Im at the end of your first video. Today I am adding stringers.

Awesome! Pictures of progress would be great. Let me know if you have any questions 👍🏼

@@berghorstcountryliving7098 If I posted the pic correctly, it is on your instagram. I will resend. I am instagram illiterate. Lol

@@theresavanallen388 hmm, I don’t see it. Is it posted to the stairs gram? Thanks

Thank you He is a great helper 👍🏼

I agree! Everything I know about building and basic laws of life came from my dad. A sharecropper from the depression era who became a rocket scientist. #Dads

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Do you let your kids know your thoughts and feelings? Maybe they need to know you miss them?

@@berghorstcountryliving7098 Now THAT, is a loaded question. And one that you asked, (I am guessing) simply to get me thinking, rather than actually expecting an answer. But, I have the time waiting for yet another damned doctor’s appointment, I will answer it. (Introspection is healthy, after all!). I believe I do say it, and it’s in my actions as well. All of them have said, one way or the other, that they understand my decisions and both appreciated and respected them. I have three children….all three were raised in a stable household where both traditional and religious education were important. My oldest is biracial….she is a strong young black woman, working in a predominantly “white male” industry (I’m so very proud of her stability and inner strength). My second is also a girl…she’s striving to find her way…but she is very empathetic, always thinking of others before herself, almost to her own detriment, (and I work hard now, trying to get her to understand that once in a while, it’s okay that she comes first!!)…but she’s hanging in there! My third is a boy, dealing with some severe ‘mental anxiety’ issues…but like his sisters, he has a dry sense of humor, and is extremely smart and thoughtful of others. But for their few faults and weaknesses, all three are again thoughtful, intelligent, and independent people. So, all said and done, maybe it was best (for them) that I was away from the house most of the time, in the Navy or as a “fed” on LE details anywhere from Georgia to Maine. And also, with suicide so rampant in young people these days….each of them knows (as I have said it over and over) that if ever their world gets so “dark” as to be unable for them to handle it, our home is their ultimate “safe and nonjudgmental place” to which they are always welcome to “retreat and regroup”. So yes, my actions and words “say it”. Otherwise, for all that I have done - both the bad and the good, throughout my life, I’ll ultimately answer to--as we all will. I think, more of my “chips” were good than bad. Again, I admire your obvious ability to engage your son in a learning experience, that he obviously seems to be having fun doing. That sir, is “gold that matters”. And again, Bravo-Zulu…..so absolutely very well done sir!!!

That’s so awesome!! Thank you so much for that very encouraging comment.

Wow, that is really cool. I would love to see pictures. I am glad the video helped.

Yes, it is definitely satisfying to think that something I have learned and now am teaching is helping someone. Thanks for your comments.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, God is so good. Thank you for subscribing.

We are in Coeur d’Alene. About a 45-60 minute drive south of Sandpoint. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. He is a great kid.

A lovely part of the world you live in. Hope to get back there soon. Best wishes to you and your family! Good luck with future projects.

It has been almost 3 years and it is still solid as a rock👍🏼 It hasn’t shifted a centimeter

Thank you. Yes I’m very blessed by my little man.

You’re welcome. I hope it helps.

Thank you I don’t have a parts list, I’m sorry. It’s been a couple of years 😁

Thank you I appreciate the encouragement

No. Only on the posts in the ground. If we are using regular lumber outside we usually treat it with linseed oil.

For me? Yes. It’s a good question. I used linseed oil on the stringers because it was a more affordable way for me to do it. At the time lumber was really expensive and I knew that those stringers were not gonna be in the moisture or snow, per se. It’s been a few years and they have held up beautifully. No issues whatsoever. I would suggest that if they are going to be exposed to a lot of moisture that you do use pressure treated wood though. Thanks a lot for your question. It’s a good one.

Also, if you build it using these plans, I’d appreciate a picture sent my way of the finished work. I may do a follow up video later on and show some of the construction that people have done based on this video. So if you have pictures, send them my way. I’d appreciate it.

Hey I’m actually going to building these stairs for my cousin this month. , would love to jump on a call to pick your brain and show you what I’m working with pick your brain and could pay you for the consult 🤞🏼

@Ahmadhammourii yeah, I might be open to that

Thank you very much for your comments. I would imagine the depth for the posts depend on your dirt but if a deck in your area is 4’ , then I would probably go with that.

Let me know what you end up doing and how it goes.

Thank you

You are welcome

Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. Yeah I’m learning as I go and definitely receiving a lot of great advice. Blessings

Probably be very stout
