After tripping on the old janky stairs on December 23 and breaking BOTH of my arms, we decided it was definitely time to replace them! Many people asked why and many people asked how, so here we have answers to both questions! TW: I do show both broken wrists immediately after the fall as well as preliminary X-rays (0:26-0:39)

The steps look great! It was so smart to put in lighting in the steps. Not only does it make it beautiful at night, but it's so much safer.

@Lezahardy 6 месяцев назад

I’d love to see them at night!

@theresastirling2337 6 месяцев назад

Omg! I'm not any other social stuff! I've been worried about you guys with all the floodIng. As scared you guys had a mudslide.....

@IRC1026 6 месяцев назад

WOW! The stairs look amazing. So nice and safe with the railing. The lighting is the perfect finishing touch. Congratulations!

@trudyfalkenberry2015 6 месяцев назад

So glad you got the steps replaced so you're both safe from future mishaps.

@emilyevans6989 6 месяцев назад

Oh, Monique! What a BEAUTIFUL addition to your home! So glad you have the railing and the texture on the stairs! No more “catching air” or falls!

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

Oh yes! I just have to remember to slow down and hold the handrail! Thank you!

@emilyevans6989 6 месяцев назад

@@MoniqueparentYT I’m betting after the surgeries and casts, it won’t be hard for you to remember! I messed up my right leg two summers ago and spent nearly 4 months completely off my feet. One has a tendency toward being more careful after those things! 🩷

@Hopadopperartist 6 месяцев назад

The stairs are so much safer and aesthetically pleasing. Nice job!

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

They are! Thank you.

@judithanndohar 6 месяцев назад

Oh my word. Seeing your wrists. My heart broke . - Dear Howard right on the case, new stairs with railing. Gotta love that man.

@djsofer4034 6 месяцев назад

Glad I stayed till the very end to witness the kitty chokehold! Thanks for including the stages of reconstruction, so satisfying to see how the experts tackled that curved incline. The lights at night are beautiful! Praying you are healing as good as new.

@RianShafer 6 месяцев назад

They look great! Love the lighting at night. I think you & everyone else using these new stairs with the safety railings will be much safer! Those old ones looked really bad on the outside but scary seeing the inner rot which could have gave way on someone stepping on them. It's no wonder you fell on them. I thought only my sister could fall UP stairs. lol Figured enough time has gone by to make a teeny joke.

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Oh yes, definitely thought time has passed to joke. Heck, I was cracking wise at the hospital ;-)

@HocusFocusProductions 6 месяцев назад

I love the lighting. Having a contractor you like and trust makes home ownership so much easier.

@evamyler9940 6 месяцев назад

What a great job Monique and great contractors. The old stairs were bad!!!

@mypinklife3415 6 месяцев назад

Wow Monique. Your stairs are beautiful and I hope you are on the mend.

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Casts are off now and I am able to edit and do so much more now!

@user-hw9lo4oz2g 6 месяцев назад

Stairs are so pretty. The clean lines harmonize perfectly with your home. Glad you two will be safe.

@karenlavigne1108 4 месяца назад

So sorry that you had broke your wrists. The new stairs are beautiful!

@joelleaittama1416 6 месяцев назад

Those tuned out beautiful!

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

They really did! Thank you!

@CaliMel184 6 месяцев назад

I'm so sorry you tripped like that. You're actually really lucky you broke your wrists and didn't hit your head or break a femur or leg! I had no idea how bad those leg break injuries were until I worked in a rehab facility and it's terrifying. It's wild to me that they were able to sell you that house without a railing on the stairs. The Naked Ladies are such resilient plants! We have a bunch of those around my Moms house and they're great.

@WillChil466 6 месяцев назад

I lovvve those. The moles eat them here. All lilies .

@MultiStephanator 6 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness.. what a gazillion times difference.. I can see why you tripped.. those stairs were so dangerous with the different wonky elevations, etc… just a wonderful safe and brilliant difference.. 💫💯

@FreeRangeDiva 6 месяцев назад

Perfect!! The new stairs are such an improvement over the old ones. With the railing, it's noto only much more beautiful, but 1000% safer. Congratulations! PS - have you been to Otto's Nursery in Fillmore? Best place for roses in SoCal!!

@melaniep9244 6 месяцев назад

Looks so much better and up to code. I'd be tempted to paint the concrete birm opposite the railing turquoise 🩵 or green 💚 with patio paint.

@Ceelle2 6 месяцев назад

Very nice, and the roses will look beautiful along the railing.

@MoniqueparentYT 6 месяцев назад

I think so too!

@WillChil466 6 месяцев назад

No thorny plants by walk ways.

@grace7-9 6 месяцев назад

This was so much fun to watch! Thank you for sharing the construction process along with the finished stairway. It turned out awesome! As well as aesthetically pleasing. Fits seamlessly with the landscaping and general setting. And that is one big, cuddly kitty.😸💖💛

@em286 6 месяцев назад

Nice! I love it! The lights make it look super cool 😎 I hope you're doing better too ❤

@lisamarie15 3 месяца назад

Concrete is so laborious. The work done is top notch! Nicely done!

@nancentina 6 месяцев назад

I broke my wrist a week before Christmas myself, and was sad to see you broke BOTH! Your new beautiful railing and lighted steps are gorgeous, congrats on those, and sending healing thoughts for your complete recovery.

@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn 6 месяцев назад

What a difference looks sleek and contemporary adds a real touch of Luxury with those lights! 💡

@rosalynsenft5417 6 месяцев назад

So glad you got those steps sorted out and hopefully you are completely recovered… what a beautiful view you have… and your cat has for me stolen the show what a beautiful cat 🐈… take care ❤

@gracejones2831 5 месяцев назад

maybe I have a low pain tolerance, but when I fell on ice and broke my wrist I was screaming in pain. I can't imagine the pain you were in. I am so sorry you are going through this.

@stacygama6637 6 месяцев назад

Investing in your home. What a HUGE improvement. I'm sorry you got hurt though. I pray you bounce right back.

@burnice3901 6 месяцев назад

@user-ws2td1fd1n 6 месяцев назад

Great job, it will certainly add value to your home. And that garden with all those plants..,!!!

@leesee6248 6 месяцев назад

So glad you got that situation made safe. The framing looked like you could have gone the roller coaster route. 😉

@jbooth6155 6 месяцев назад

It looks great! The lighting and railing is such a good addition especially as you both age and will be a safety concern. Thanks for the video

@lismi9178 6 месяцев назад

Amazing 😮 such precision and symmetry, plus safety and functionality 👍, well done 💪! I do admire you for taking those sensible decisions like putting up a railing or installing the lights. Some people wouldn't want to admit that when growing older you need them, since your balance isn't anymore what it was when you were 20.

@alisonh890 6 месяцев назад

Lovely, what a good job. Enjoy the new steps. Best wishes to you and Howard. Xxx

@janine165 6 месяцев назад

Wonderful improvement and what a gorgeous location your house is in.

@florencegaye1391 6 месяцев назад

Hi, Monique -what a transformation! They look fantastic, I love the lights, too. As you say, most importantly they are now very safe. Is it not wholly satisfying to watch craftsmen/women at work? Everyone knowing what to do, doing it in synergy. My front doorstep (just the one step!), needs painting with an anti-slip paint i bought at least 18 months ago; your video has inspired me to get my act together, so thanks for that! As ever, kindest regards to you both- Florence.

@barbaracossentino2820 6 месяцев назад

This was quite a journey for you. The steps are beautiful. I am so happy for you and Howard.

@elizabethelliott3175 6 месяцев назад

Maybe next, you can either intstall an elevator to get between floors inside so no one will have to go outside to reach either place (I'm thinking elderly parents and friends, and even you guys, of course in many years to come)! Or you could have the cement fellows come back and pour a smooth ramp!

@jackiebrown6577 6 месяцев назад
