Stairs and Porch Repair - Part 9 - Making Handrails with Pressure Treated Wood. 

In this final part showing the build of a porch and stairs, we go over some of the details essential to building a set of handrails, cover a bit of the building code, and discuss working with wet wood. Also Finn plays tug-of-war with a water jug.
Even simple jobs can have a lot of details to keep in mind. In the 9th part of this mini-series, of the rebuilding of a front porch and set of stairs, we cover:
- Framing theory
- fastener choice
- common mistakes with decks, porches, and exterior stairs
- railling considerations
- choosing lumber for stair stringers
- metal connectors / hangers
As always, this isn't a comprehensive how-to guide, but rather it is a look into some of the work and details that goes into a carpentry project. Make sure you do your own research regarding your local codes and building practices.
