Jay’s Stair Makeover-“That’s One Way To Do It” 

Great job man! The stain looks great with the white. So glad you keep going, giving us fine entertainment and a piece of your great personality! Can't wait for the next ep

we are glad to see you doing well jason , please dont stop uploading

You are a natural at youtube. I’m glad you are keeping the channel.

Hey Jay, just wanted to say thank for you for such high quality entertainment, and the added bonus of learning something about your DIY projects. One thing I wanted to mention is the "chest of drawers" at about 23 minutes is exactly like one that has been in my family for eons, down to the drawer pulls. There is no way I can part with it or refinish it in any way since imprinted in the top of it in my dad's handwriting is an "emergency" note he apparently scribbled out for my mother when my grandpa had a stroke. You have to catch it "just right" in the light to be able to read it. For many years we did not know it was there until I saw it by accident and mentioned it to my dad. He said he did remember writing the note in the early 1970's but could not remember what it said. We eventually pieced enough of it together to get the complete message since apparently he moved the paper a few times. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you. Who knows what could be imprinted into old tables and other furniture years ago that nobody realizes what is there and waiting to be read.

Jay and Stephanie, Wonderful project together. The way you got your stair tread and riser length, and angles is the way carpenters have done it for hundreds of years. It is quick and accurate. I like your videos so keep them coming. John in Missouri Valley Iowa

"It's boss Sir, to you steph" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jay, Jay, Jay, if ever you feel the need to pick spots of your handy work nip over to Mr build it and watch his siding or roofing clips. It popped up on my feed earlier and I had to laugh because some of the comments were advising him to watch BJW and PBB for advice. Don't get me wrong he still did a better job than my hubby could have done 😂😂

Awesome job Jay & wife !!!👍👏👏💪

The stair angle jig will work with risers AND treads - way easier than stapling up or gluing up a template for every stair or riser. This is the best $40 you will ever spend and saves you hours of messing around. I bought this for one job and I'm glad I did, no regrets - time is money. You are lucky Stephanie is keeping an eye on you and supervising your work !!!! looks great.

You and Stephanie did a great job! You two are an inspiration to all couples that take on home projects like this.

I just have one thing too say ( that's one way to do it ). Regarding ( sturdability ) I can't find it in my dictionary. However I did find ( stable, stability. ) God bless you and your family.

A tip for Jay. When you rip the back of the tread, rip it on a 5 degree angle. That way just top tip of the tread is the only thing touching the riser and you can push it in tighter. I also bevel cut both ends of my risers. Tricks to make your life easier.

Tell Stephanie special walnut is also my go to stain 😊. You can’t beat it! Great job on the stairs.

The stairs look amazing. The difference is like night and day. You two work so well together and have an great banter.

Not to downplay your skills when the channel first started, but I think you’ve really grown as a craftsman both in knowledge and skills. Your more recent projects in particular look fantastic!

Nice work. The hot glue trick I like. Should be proud of yourself. Have confidence no matter what.

Digging those Reliance Timber shirts! The stairs are looking awesome!

Lets go boys! (And Girls) Everyone have an awesome weekend!

I do miss Ray, you guys have such great chemistry. But the content is still great!

um..... Sturdablity? New Word Monday! Love it!

Sturdability! it’s what every project deserves!😊

Looks so much better! Even tho a bit of a hassle, it was worth the effort so far. Wife is happy, goal achieved. 😊

I’d be in awe and gratefulness. Paying someone else to do it. OMGOSH. It’s so much work. I’m TIRED!

I had my doubts about that stain, but when everything was in, It looked great! 🙂

Looks fantastic. Great work... looking forward to the next episode 👍👍👍💯

Good Job Dear!!!

Another great episode on "projects with jay!" Fantastic channel! Keep it up!

I love you Jay! I have no idea about Ray. He is missed. Not giving up on you two!

Nice job! Miss Ray but you and Steph are a great team too!

Hahah you moved the Santa at the end

Merry Christmas Jason and family

olda gent i worked with said….watch out…women have ideaz ☝🏼😆

Looking good. I remember Arlo taught you that move. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

Really like the two of y’all working together. Your energy meshes so well and it’s good for the camera

One of my favorite projects you’ve shared. I really liked the way you explained the choices you made and tricks you used. And it turned out swell.

That's the first one I've watched of you on your own channel Jay. You did a great job so far and Steph was happy with it, ( that's ALL that matters), and I'll watch part 2 for my final opinion. LOL It's interesting how much more serious you are when working alone. Bit hard to joke with the boys when they're not there to play off !!!!

I love the stain over the white. I would have never thought of the tile drop in the landing but it's very beautiful. I am glad you're starting your own channel. I should have started mine years ago with the work we have done from fire. I might have the money to finish it since my student teaching has fallen through. So proud of you guys! By the way my parents live in candler NC!

Thanks!

this channel is a tribute to the love you have for your wife. respect bro

So you make content to make money where you spend it on supplies to make make money. Welcome to our world of housework & laundry. What a vicious circle. You are a good man. Just keep it up. Great job.😊👍🌻

👍👍👍👍👍👍. I have to give you A+. On your job.

Sturdability Love it.

"That's one way to do it" would be a good name for the channel. Love watching you here and on Erics channel.

You and your apprentice do nice work. Very inspirational: if Jay can do it, I can! 😉

Thanks for the video! Loving the projects.

Come on Jay, you know by now "move in ready" means move in ready for you to start remodelling it 🤣🤣🤣

"This project had its ups and downs." -Jamie probably

21:40 Hey, Zat you Ray-aclaus? Nice job Team Ellis!

Great video as always! Every time I watch your channel I learn something - this time it was how much more effective a stain blocking primer is. One of the best thing about your videos is that you don't shy away from the minor mistakes that are inevitable when building / remodeling. Please keep doing these!

Great video! You're teaching me stuff without realizing you're teaching me stuff. lol✌

Jay! Fan of both shows, and have learned alot. You're hilarious man. I own a contracting company in Georgia and enjoy the videos. Grew up going to Waynesville and skiing at Cataloochie, still have an aunt and uncle in Maggie Valley. Keep up the good work. Maybe we can connect one of these days.

Stairs are looking awesome! Great tips along the way. Keep up the great job!

Love the wife commentary!!!

Square shovel makes quick work of those tack strips

Nice Job

You did a great job. They look fantastic. Also gave me some ideas for my own stairs. Thanks mate.

You are doing awesome Jason! Looking forward to more makeover of your pag!

I am also a fan of walnut stain color..

“Sturdability” 😂

That's a great looking set of stairs... I used to live near that part of NC, and I forgot how spread out some of the stores are there... where I live now, I probably have 6 Lowes and 8 Home Depots within a 20 minute drive. I look forward to seeing how you take the channel.

JaySteph Builder Buddies... theres ur new name!

Looks awesome, can’t wait to see the railing!!

We love JayJay Builder and friends

Great content jay, this helped me a ton with my stairs! Looks beautiful man

Appreciate you keeping this channel live!!!!! @Ray - Come back buddy we miss ya! We miss the giggle and figuring it out.....

Great job Jay, keep these videos coming. My wife and I bought a "mansion" that was built in 1790, this will be a life long project. Good thing is that I'm a contractor and do everything myself, whether it's all new electrical, plumbing, heating, you name it. Some people like to buy a new truck every two years, I always buy used and rather put the money towards my house!

Two different uncles of mine cut their thumbs off with circular saws...carful that leg trick haha (weiner joke) Jay and Steph builders is going to be awesome keep it up guys

It looks fabulous!

Superb work on a very difficult project that is always full of surprises and extra steps …. Bravo !

Good job y’all family project and family bonding

Move-in ready. I have heard this before and im sure many of men have too.... Good work Jay. Can i use that word, "sturdiblity"? So Jay-steph fab is moving right along...

Joint compound on boards your going to paint hides voids with ease!

Thanks for the show guys 🍻 🇦🇺

Japanese pull saws and hand planes work wonderful for cutting risers and treads

They make a special tool to remove those staples. Just sayin. It really does look amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product! PS - Go easy on your sidekick!

Enjoyed this video a lot. I’m an amateur DIY’er but have done well so far on my own. Learned a lot I want to apply to my stairs since I have ugly carpet too.

Perfect new name fot the channel! That's one way to do it with Jay!! House looks awesome.

Hey Jay! Another amazing job! It looks great! Now you got 2 stairs under your belt! I love watching you slowly refinish your house. Keep it up!

One trick for the Knots is shellac over it before you paint, or use BIN Primer (wait, Jaime just told you that LOL.)

Worlds best camera operator!

Oh man. Jay's work is becoming too legit haha awesome. You're doing less do-overs!

Well done! Looks great !

Very awesome. Well done!

Great job guys.

You and your wife are a great team!

Great video

Nice episode of 'Jay Builds', been loving the channel these months man!

Great job! Really enjoy your work!

Good job, off to watch part 2 👍

You may not know what you were doing, but the end result looks awesome, Jay!

Nice!

Nice work, Team. Merry Christmas.

Awesome vid! I have a similar project to tackle and between the Perkins Bro's stairs from scratch and your stair renovations I'm slowly building the courage jump in! The tips will be a big time saver, especially the different ways to template the existing!

That looks great!

"One Jay To Do It"

Looks great, nice team work! Ask Jamie to weld you a custom steel railing that you can paint black. That will look awesome...

That looks so good and you and your wife got great taste

Good Job both of you!

Looking great

Really enjoyed watching this!

Is that a new word STURDABILTY! I like it. looking good.
