Installing An Extra Wide Floating Staircase Inside Our DIY Mountain Home 

I loved that four minutes in where we might see Kenji, we see Kiera putting flowers on his sacred ground. Thank you.

Living vicariously through you ,,, lol If someone were to make a blueprint for a perfectly lived life I imagine it would be this, good simple living. love all you do and your channel is the 1 channel I look forward to every Saturday. You all are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your life.

Great job on those stairs. I don't think your orange cat could be any happier. Always looks so content and happy to be there.

I know the stairs will turn out nice because I watched your daughters video yesterday and she walked right up them to show us the build and how she is so excited to be moving in there-love your videos ❤😂😂😂😂

The shot of Eli and the cat...nothing more precious .😊

May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and working on the homestead and building

Stairs will be so much easier for you both going up and down so often. Jeremy did a great job of them. Catch you all next week ❤

12:25 LMAO!!! 🤣🤣 The staircase turned out so beautifully, and NOT 1970s!! 😂 Yay for no more ladder!! ❤ Have an awesome weekend and I love you all! ❤

Stairway to a Heavenly apartment! Looks amazing!

"I love Kale. It makes me feel like a dinosaur." I'm not even sure what that means, but it's a great quote. Love the way his mind works. Glad y'all got those stairs done. Maybe folks will leave you alone about them now (although I'm sure there will be some folks who will tell you the way they think you should have done it). Glad y'all are starting to feel the sunshine again. Thanks for brightening our Saturday mornings.

Jeremy, if you wanted to, you could route a 2x2 with a bullnose on one side and tack it on top of the edge stair stringer. That would cover the stairs and add another dimension to the staircase. Excellent work!

The stairs make all the difference, love the look!! You two really tackle each project with gusto. Congratulations, soon it will be a great apartment and you will have to find another project , LOL. God Bless all of you

From a builder, great job on the stairs. One thing that I would recommend if you ever build any more is a jigsaw or a sawzall instead of hand selling them. It will be faster.

I’ve seriously thought about watching ALL your videos ( like a movie) from day one to present day…❤❤❤ L❤️VE your family

The stairrrs looks great and the garage floor is beautiful, Jeremy!

Good job on the build of the stairs....! Thanks for a good visit!! Lookin good...keep up the positive flow!! Preciate ya'll!! 👋🐺🧙‍♂️🦊👍

Everything looks fantastic 🙌🏻💖 When Eli was relaxing in that chair , I felt like I could hear his mind taking in the memories of all all the farms sounds and feels 🙌🏻💖 I was a little disappointed, when Jeremy put the first tread on, that he didn’t say, Like a glove 🙌🏻😂😂

‘Souza And Sons Construction’ ?? Maybe?? You could alway add a 2-3” high trim piece on the top of the end cap to hide the end of the stairs??

I love Saturdays! Thank you for your beautiful updates. I always feel so good after watching the videos. Congrats on the staircase, looks great! See ya next week! 😘

WOW!!! Super strong stairs. That's a great job.

Good morning. Enjoyed this morning video with my moring coffee. Love how you make building stairs look so easy.

Good morning Melissa, Jeremy and kids happy Saturday

Love the stairs ,I was thinking even before I commented ,then you said what I was thinking ,a cable railing is what I was gonna say..they look awesome ,see them on others homesteads....seeing your little girl put dandelions on Kenji's grave was a loving and beautiful thing from her ❤

Stairs look wonderful!! Well done.

Great work on the stairs! I really enjoyed the relaxing way the Family planted together& it was just a quiet calming time for everyone ❤🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Great job on the stairs. Looking forward to more garden work in the weeks to come. May God bless you all and keep you safe and well.

Good Morning Sweet Family!! ☕️🌞💕

Stairs look fantastic, nice build. You have ended up with a gorgeous property and an extremely nice new home. Jeremy overkill is nice and meant to last. You all deserve a lot of credit for what you have done up to date. Love your videos, Thankyou guys!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

Hooray for stairs! I always love your night sky sequences, and I look for the Pleiades in every video. Was happy to see it again today. :)

Looks beautiful guys. Love the dance Melissa .

Again I must say; In all your scenes, no matter where you randomly aim that camera.....there is Love

Yay, Saturday with GSL! ❤ it feels like the weekend.😊

You are such hardworking intelligent peops.xx

HI JEREMY, MELISSA AND FAMILY HOPE IS ALL WELL YOUR STAIRS LOOKS SO FABULOUS WELL DONE GUY'S 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😊😊

Stairs are beautiful. I miss seeing Kenji with you all. God bless you and the kids.

Beautiful Family Beautiful Country and Scenery 👍👍😃 😊 Life is like a box of chocolates 😊 👍

The night sky there is so beautiful! Happy to see the garden started! I'm 80 and seeing you two going up and down stairs made me remember when I could do that! I love your family and the way you are loving and raising your children! ❤

Great job on stairs, springtime is my favorite time of the year.

It's amazing how much progress you and family have accomplished. ❤

Stairs done ✅

I cannot wait to see the space after nevaeh is all moved in. She is going to love the feel of independence she is going to get. Im excited for her 🎉

Oh wow I have the same green house. I grew veggies in mine before anyone else had.😂

It seems like I could see Kenji still laying around in the background of some of these shots! Now I need to know the names of your other cats so I don't have be stumped with "Cat number 1" and "Cat number 2".

Extra wide, excellent decision!

Good morning GSL family. The project is almost done it looks beautiful.

Morning! ❤

Good morning to my beautiful family.

Strong stairs! They'll definitely handle the weight of hauling a piano upstairs! Great job as usual! Great patience and perseverance throughout each episode has produced your dream. Love the way you take life one day at a time! You know it's going to take time and energy and that's a valuable lesson you're teaching your kids and all of us! In a instant gratification world we live in there's no more valuable lesson! You guys cooperate with each other like a fine tuned engine! Thanks for showing all of us what can happen when love of life and family comes first! It's pure joy to watch! Our founding fathers are cheering for you guys right now as you're showing the world what freedom and respect and love can accomplish! You are taking full advantage of God's gifts and passing all the lessons of life He gave us on to your children and us! So refreshing to witness! Better than a movie!!! God bless you and your family always!!!👍🌎🌞🐴🐑🐕🐈🐇🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

You both got this. The stairway is going to be strong and beautiful

One can tell what kind of man lives there by his garage floor. My ex father in law was a station owner and mechanic. One could eat off the floor of his home garage.

Great job, The floor and stairs make everything look amazing!

Good glad the stairs are done- it will be so much safer than the ladder. When you get all the furniture and appliances etc upstairs then you can put in the railing. :D

YOU HAVE ACHIEVED STAIRS....GAME LEVEL UP.... HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

Wow that’s a great looking stairway! Happy weekend to my favorite family😎👍❤️

Yay! Great job! Biggest job left to do, is exterior siding, and moving appliances in. Won't be long now ! 😊🎉😊🎉😊🎉

The stairs look great. Love seeing the bunny!!! Enjoyed the family planting. The whole video was great! 🥰

So beautiful that you can see that you're a beautiful family and work together and thanks for sharing your channel with me

A stairway to heaven! 👏🏾👍🏾🤩🐶

Place a 2x4 on top of the outside stare stringers to cap off the treads. Add 4 screws through the riser into the back edge of the steps plus caulk all corners will prevent fine dirt from working though to what ever you place under the steps. Found it worth the time with the four set of steps I have built.

Beautiful job on the stairs

Looks amazing, you did such an excellent job, both of you! I love to see all your sweet souls , so content and happy! But I miss the little inspector, yet I smile thinking at him and how he was supervising everything and everyone 💞💞💞

Wowza!!! Beautiful work on your garage apartment stairs. Love the extra width & solid steps! Job well done! 👍🏻

I wish there was a love button. Thank you for sharing your family and journey with us.

Great job on the stairs, hooray for Saturday morning

Good afternoon Guys

I love this family like they're part of my family. The stairs are great! I miss Kenji, and I love seeing the kids playing and loving on the other animals! Thank you for this glimpse into your lives. It's very precious.

Awesome job on those stairs. Make sure that floor is swept..lol

I just love this beautiful peaceful family, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

' I love kale, makes me feel like a dinosaur ' so precious

I love the excitement when the stairs were done. I hope you put a small bench at the bottom of the stairs for taking off snow boots and muddy shoes. But I think you will have a problem with Jeremy. He'll have the hose out to keep his floors in garage looking good.😅❤

The Elaine dance 😂. Melissa you are pretty funny! The stairs and floor look so good. What a beautiful life you have. Kenji😢.

Oh my days 😮, how lucky you are Mellisa, having a very capable DIY hubby, my old man loses his rag putting a blind up 😂😂😂 how lovely, spending time with your little ones planting your own food source. Love to you all from the UK 🇬🇧 😘😘😘😘

Awesome family. I kept singing "stairway to heaven". My theme song for my junior prom. 💞💞💞

It’s almost time to go furniture and appliance shopping!

love the stairs .. great job well done!

The stairs turned out so nice :) and Seeing Kiera putting flowers for Keenji wha a sweet girl

The stairs look great . You must be so proud of everything you have both built

NICE job! The stairs look amazing, and I love how wide they are.. Enjoy the sunshine, there's more to come. Finally!!! Happy Saturday to you all ☀🌞

Stairs look great. Here is a thought for the stairs. Build a wall to close of the stairs. Then you could have the area under the stairs as a storage closet.

You know what amazes me is how clean your grounds are. I've watched so many videos of people that are now on big grounds that allow them to plant their own food and they can't keep their place tidy and clean, its hard work but has to be done. You two are amazing, hard working and it shows in everything around you. ❤️

JEREMY THE STAIRS ARE BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THE STYLE AND WIDER STAIRWAY AND STAIRS..... IM PROUD OF YOU VER BEAUTIFUL GOD BLESS LOVE YOU ALL ANNAMAY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You definately got your steps in.

Good morning 🌞 nice getting garden started 😉 The stairs are very nice👌 Have a great week 🙏🌷🪻💖

Love your photography!! The stairs look great! Nice job Jeremy. Bless your week. ❤

❤

Loved seeing the kids out playing, not that they didn't before, it's nice seeing them playing. That was so sweet Keira placing those flowers on Kenji's grave! I know y'all are super thankful to have stairs. Jeremy, they look fantastic!! It's all coming together. Thank you for sharing.

Hi I am hadi from iran Thanks It's very good And very nice all videos Big like

On a positive note - congrats on getting the stairs up. On another - those are traditional stairs. Floating stairs do not have a post support or visible stringers.

I just want to say that I love horse noses. They're so soft! The floating stair looks wonderful. Every time I see Kenji's grave, I get a little lump in my throat. Miss him too. Thanks.

🎉🎉🎉 This seems to be coming along so fast 💨❗️ But I’m sure that it seems like years to you guys 😂. Everything is looking so great 😀. Love that you are teaching your kids how to grow from seeds. God is blessing left and right 🙏🙏🙏 Just be careful going up and down the stairs with all your heavy appliances. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

You can hide the top corner of the treads on the staircase with a tall enough bottom molding for the rails.

Love you, Souza family! Great job on the stairs! It's coming together nicely! ❤

Even after all these years "This Old House" still offers some great tips. Beautiful views as usual.

The stairs look great. Gabby is coming along. Garage floors look fantastic, good choice. Can't wait until the next post. Have a great week

I laughed when you said the stairs were kind of like the 1970's. When we built our house in British Columbia we had a stair case like yours without the risers. Out 2 children with one being 2 years old could traverse those stair without any problem. I miss those days. Life was so much easier and happier. Job well done guys and it looks wondrful

The stairs look great, I can't wait to see the floor go in next.😊❤

Those look great! Your horses are so cute

Thanks Guys

A few suggestions: You could raise the height of the stair caps (to hide the ends of the treads) by adding 2x2s, or better yet, a half round on top. If you can't find any the right dimension, you can make your own by cutting dowels in half lengthwise on the table saw (use feather boards for safety and consistency.) Consider using black pipe & fittings for a handrail(s), for a cheap, sturdy and rustic/industrial look. Consider adding 3M non-slip tape strips to the front edges of the treads for safety. And lastly, off the topic of the stairs - I'm assuming you intend to get another pupper. Consider making the outdoor space between the house and the garage (from the back wall to the connection wall) a dog run. Install a pet door in the center of the rear connection wall, and a gate across the back gap for access. Install a geo-textile barrier on the sub-grade, under a layer of sand and/or stone, for a weed barrier and for easier clean-up. Perhaps a small motion sensing light on the connection wall too. Think you would appreciate this feature during those cold winter months. Cheers, and keep up the good work!
