I’m curious- do your home projects usually go like you planned? Do they take longer than you thought they would?

@zomfgwiiii 2 года назад

They always take me sooo much longer than planned! But I’d rather it take me longer than rushing it that way I know things are done correctly and hope I don’t need to redo them.

@ghoulgoil5029 2 года назад

Never! Something always happens that delays progress.

@rosalindbarnett257 2 года назад

Apart from painting and sanding our old hardwood floors something always takes me twice as long!! Worst is not having enough material you need and having to stop work to return to the hardware store….it’s tough to get back into that rhythm.

@green5sing 2 года назад

I have decided instead of estimating how long it will take and constantly being disappointed, because I don't think I've ever been right, I just concentrate on starting. Once that happens, how long it takes just doesn't seem to be as important because I am so excited to see the end result. 🥰

I was just telling my husband that if you lived closer to me, I would hire you in a minute to do the work I need done around my house. I love doing home projects too, I just don't have the talent you do. I had hoped this would be the "final" stair video because I'm so excited to see the final product of your hard labor. I'm looking forward to the next video!

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

I was hoping it was going to be the final video too. Next week!

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

Oh that’s so frustrating. That’s another reason why I’m a perfectionist with my projects- I don’t want anyone else to have to deal with a problem later. Also we move so much- I know everything has to meet code and pass inspections.

@AkSonya1010 Год назад

Note for folks, For the back white panels on the stairs, you can buy the material in 4x8 sheets already finished white at the box stores. That is how I did it BUT when I went to use glue adhesive it bled through. We ended up not using the glue and just caulked around the edges. We also used smaller nails and put them up high so the treads covered them up. Four years later they still look great. Just use magic erasers to get the scuff marks off. One last recommendation. I like the poly wipe-on as well but I learned from a carpenter to use the spray cans of varathane because it's a harder finish and it seals really nicely.

@KelseyRomitoDIY Год назад

Thanks for the recommendations!

Your stairs are looking so good! Can I say how impressive it was watching you go up the stairs backwards! 😄 Also I think carpet on stairs is hazardous. I have 2 family member who have slipped and fallen down their stairs while wearing socks. One was carrying her baby!

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

Thanks! I’ve heard so many people say that wood stairs are too dangerous so I was a little nervous. Our cabin on vacation had wood stairs so I used those as a tester and they were totally fine. I was talking to my husband about it and he said “if I fall down the stairs, it’s not going to matter what they’re made of- I’m not getting up” 🤣🤣

@glittergold6204 Год назад

I’ve slipped a few times on my hardwood stairs wearing socks! So have the kids. They keep asking me to carpet them

@5petes 2 года назад

I hate carpet on stairs cause it’s a beast to keep clean. And what do I have? Carpet. LOL! If I don’t move 1st, maybe some day I can put your great videos to the test for myself! Great work!

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

I know! With two kids, I felt like the stairs always looked dirty with the carpet. I’m hoping the wood treads make that easier.

@dianemarino4860 Год назад

@ginamaria2579 2 года назад

@@KelseyRomitoDIY oh thanks

@goombabear Год назад

It would have been do much easier if the builder used real wood treds and risers. Even so, when I removed the carpet from my stairs it was a mess. The builders used a million staples for the carpet padding. The holes had to be removed and filled in. There was much muck on the wood, it needed a good sanding. From then on it was easy, I painted the treds and risers with white floor paint, it looked really nice and it was much easier to keep clean.

@KelseyRomitoDIY Год назад

Yes that would have been much easier and way less expensive!

@ginamaria2579 2 года назад

Yes sometimes when I get started I ask what in the world have I gotten myself into 😣🤣😂

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

Every. Single. Project. Then when I’m done, I’m always like I don’t know why I ever doubted myself. 🤣🤣

@JohnSmith-qg6wz Год назад

Do you spend a lot of time planning & mapping out how you’re going to do a project? I’d love to see that part of your process. You seem like a pro. Or was your dad a pro?

@KelseyRomitoDIY Год назад

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If it’s an expensive project, I plan more because I want to make sure it’s exactly what I want. I posted a video recently showing how I make mood boards for each room. I’m definitely not a professional (my dad isn’t either). I just fell in love with tools and diy.

@KelseyRomitoDIY 2 года назад

Thank you! I’ve been looking into runners but after staining the treads, I’m not sure I want to cover them. I’ll probably live them for a while to see if a runner is necessary for the kids.

@mikehitsiniwanhaud8000 Год назад

So let me ask, why do you cut the front of the stair to make it flush with the riser instead of just cutting a pc of plywood and bringing the riser flush with the top of the step? Does it make a difference?

@KelseyRomitoDIY Год назад

No I don’t think it makes a difference. Honestly that never occurred to me. 🤣 I think either one of those would have worked.
