Today we are adding stairs onto our 625sqft deck. What seemed like a simple task, cutting stair stringers, turned into quite the task for us armatures. None the less we continue to push the build forward one step at a time.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

It is encouraging to see that a lot of that has changed. Thank you for supporting the fallen and wounded.

Having a bit of fall in the stair tread is not really noticeable when walking the stairs, but will help water drain off the treads. That’s good for rain and melting snow and ice! I’m afraid your blocking at the base of the stairs is going to trap moisture and lead to early rot of the blocking and deck boards. I would suggest to put a deck board spacer in between that is not fastened and pull it out after fastening the blocking in just above the deck. Also put a bit of tilt on it too.
@dk2614 3 жыл бұрын
I hate to sound shady but I think Josh is obsessed with perfection and being perfectly square. I believe that blocking is to satisfy the perfectionist in him. Agree that without adequate airflow rot will take out the deck far quicker than being out of square.
