On another note. I built a "boardwalk" for my backyard. It has been years now. It was terribly expensive well over 850sq feet 5-12 feet above ground. Maintenance is challenging. I want to start replacing "decking" bords the thin ones with composite ones. Yes they are spendy. They don't rot out. I don't have to seal and stain them every year or two in NC. Super amazing if you do or did a video on that. $12-15K for lumber. Not sure what composite boards will cost. In the end it will be worth it. I am going to try to replace them in sections. Great channel I am a subscriber from your first video I saw.
**DAD IF IT'S FINE THEN DON'T CALL YOUR SON OUT ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!! what are you thinking.. that is your son!.. what you should have said is Matt did a great job helping me out since my toe is broken.. because that is what he did.. Come On!! It's call gaslighting so you know.. when a person 'subtly' says things in publicly they know will hurt the other person.. it's emotional abuse and it's illegal... sorry Matt.. dude you did a great job.. You can work on my projects anytime!
That was a good comment RE the rise vs run. I happen to have dang size 12 feet, and I am shorter than you. My son in law is larger than me by a bit, and has size 14 feet. My mother in law LOVED our stairs because of the wide tread and the short riser, and she was about 5'5".... with about size 5 feet. Well designed stairs make it SO much easier for everyone to use. We can get our feet on there, and shorter folks, especially older ones, can take a natural stride up the stairs with low risers... and depend on them to be the same size each step.
So is this just going to be a free floating step, not attached to the deck? If so, couldn't that be a little sketchy with the step possibly moving on you as you walk on it?
I always forget about that step math. I have Dachshunds and they need a step that sticks out farther to accommodate their long bodies and short legs. I am sure my steps are not to code that I build. They take a few trips to get used to (for people). The flat part of my steps are a good 12+ inches and I think the vertical part "Rise?" is 6" I notice some commercial buildings have steps like mine. what 18" flat? I don't know.
I would love an episode of Outtakes where you just lose your $hit, throw saws, hammers & boards. So I can show my wife. She seems to think I need to be calm like you! I told her to videotape me & edit it LOL. Love your channel Brother.
This was what I was looking for for my job. But I'll probably not follow your safety advice (or lack of). Flip flops aside, wheres your safety mask with the limestone, sanding or cutting the treated pine my man!?! We want you around for more videos!
That 27" rule is perfect for going up the stairs. However, it is better to have wider steps for going down the stairs. So many people get injured falling because stairs in our homes are too steep and too narrow.
I think I wasn't aware this was prerecorded before this current time. Anyway, Glad you were so [persistent?] intent on having it done before the winter. Wasn't aware Matt smoked[sad face] glad your toe is healing. Love watching but have yet to commit to anything longer than 45 mins to sit and watch straight thru [ laughing face] shivering black bell and thumbs up Cheers!
Wear heavy soled shoes or boots when shoveling. Avoid foot injury!! for goodness sake! Soft running shoes don't absorb the pressure from pushing on the shovel. I know from painful experience.
I thought the easiest way to measure the outside is to get your full length required + width of the board per side, cut a 45 on the mark TO your initial mark, cutting the direction of the second mark with the width of the lumber accounted for, make 2 cuts, and flip the middle board, and you have your 3 sided box essentially. Am I off base? I'm making my deck here soon so I'm asking because it's what I planned to do with my material to eliminate guesswork and have less waste.
To everyone…. Check building code. An 8” rose is not permitted. And it isn’t legal where this RU-vidr lives. Maximum rise on a step should never be exceeded as this guy did in this video.
and yet after 60,000 hours of work I have not had an injury. The truth is as long as you pay attention and monitor your tools everything is perfectly safe.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY there's a first for everything... However if you choose to not wear glasses that's up to you. I don't see why people feel the need to tell others that.
We all appreciate you and that’s why I going to say this. Although your recovering. Make sure you get some exercise in. I can hear you out of breath LoL
