Wow why are their thumbs down on here? These are good wholesome people that are just sharing happy moments as a family with all of us!! We could all learn alot from the Johnson Family!! Geez

FINALLY someone puts footings where they are needed. Sick build !

Little trick for digging in the winter. Cover the area with a tarp a couple days earlier. I live in michigan. This never fails. The ground will thaw out under the tarp. It works in sub zero temps.

Yes Martin your skills have really improved It really is getting done Fast

Pak Martin & Bu Julie, I always admire your determination, persistence and the love you show to all of us. May God bless you always. Anyway, your craftmanship also very enjoyable to watch. Salam :)

Your skill are improving and so is ur wife's.. Why look at all the hardwork you ur family has put in, sure its a long way from complete but ur inside u home its warm n cozy and u all are doing it at ur own pace. Suggestion: Cover the head of the screw's with wood tube putty or wood filler..that way ur screws don't get rust on em. Keep on smiling, stay safe n warm, God bless u.

Surely...it's one of the great video of Pak Martin and Bu Julie. You both always can makes me say : "Wow that's amazing true! Great job to y'all in North Idaho!" Greets from Indonesia!

Your daughter has a lovely smile oh my God what comment or I could call it something else but my mother raised me better! Great job you two love the video keep on rocking!

Finally, I waited impatiently for this episode and I apologize for the previous comment. Thank you more brilliance, creativity and success

put the big logs on the bottom and the small kindling on top it will burn longer and be more foregiving if you forget to come back and put more logs on because it will still be hot/burning. light the top and it will burn down, good luck

We used to tent the area to pour with plastic tarps and use a torpedo heater to set concrete in winter in Boise and Bend..works well if you run into problems with your cold temps.

They're talented. I couldn't set concrete in 30 degree weather. God bless them....

Its all looking awesome

Good teamwork and a good job. Getting there. Keep smiling and stay safe. Singapore

I am glad you are putting in some more concrete posts to support it all. when finished you will probably get no rocking, swaying, or bouncing. good job, both of you.

Jules is always smiling and laughing must be a joy to live with her, Great job on the stairs need central support under the stringers, brave to go out and do the job in the snow, good job guys from UK.

Installing windows is always a big game changer. It changes the looks but also helps get you weathered in. Nice job working together. If you’re not going to use a wood burner then a propane forced air. We have a fireplace in the basement that is propane with a small blower and it actually helps heat the whole house so the furnace doesn’t run nearly as much when it’s on. How is the well doing? Stay safe. 10” of snow here with a couple more on the way. I’m ready for spring 😊. Bruce from Mason Michigan

I like the sponge treatment to the treads...neat idea

the best wife on KZfaq, cute, blonde hard working, with a great sense of humor ... Keep up the great work..

Nice work brother! Your living place is so great, I really like that.

The theme music is sensational

Toe kicks will help solidify the stairs. I enjoy your videos.

Great video! This was a great help. Adding a stairs to a separate garage at my house in South Carolina. Please protect your eyes.

Very nice build, by the time you're finished you'll be a journeyman carpenter. Thanks for sharing.

WOW man just wow! you two are awesome builders. Loving the build.

They look great.

French press and wood burning stove! 2 things that are VERY important! Nice work folks! Happy New Year from Alabama!

Lol, anyone else notice the deer walking around in the background @13:10

You guys are so capable, so smart, so self-reliant. AMAZING 👍❣️

The stairs look great yall! Nothing like French press coffee :) Cheers! M & K Segovia

You should squirt the spade bit hole for the nut full of silicone caulk to seal it up..

You two sound like you have great companionship !

Take some damp paper towels next time before you lite the stove. Dip the damp towels into the ashes in the stove and rub it on your front glass and it will clean it. Good job on the stairs

Your daughter has a nice smile even when she was struggling with the carboard wrap on the cement post.

We go through the Sandpoint area quit a few times a year...love the area...keep up the good work!!!

I personally think that you should have another set of posts to support your stringers.

Stairs looks good love the color stain. MARTIN it nice to have a beautiful face beside you helping Merry Christmas God Bless

Bless you

Things are really looking awesome. Great team-work .👍👍💛🙏

It looks great. God Bless

Coming from Idaho as well going to be a kickass winter, thank you for the video!🤘🏼

Next time add salt to the cement , Calcium Chloride ! Cures faster in cold weather. I would add two more post in the middle of the stairs for more support.

Love the giant popsicle!!

If you had notched in a 2x4 at the bottom of the stringers you could have tied all three together. As it is you will want to install a 2x6 at 2 different places along the length of the stringer. It will keep them from spreading as folks walk on it. Imagine several folks walking up the stairs possibly carrying items. It will add a lot of weight. You also really will want to install some X bracing under the main platform between posts. I used that sealing tape on the stringers under each step. This would greatly extend the life of the stringers. Good idea about the sealant. Test it when it dries with water to see if you might have a problem with slipperyness.

Consider a gutter to keep all the water from the roof off. Nice work.

Center stringer is only supported now by the landing upstairs and center support But nothing at the bottom probably need to run a board at the bottom between both cemented posts. I myself would have made a smaller cement wall uniformed to the stringers instead of cement posts that way all stringers are firmly secure at the base adding more stability to them. But, it's looking AWESOME looking forward to see how you will connect the upstairs to your existing home. God Bless Be Safe. Jim

BLESS YOU JULIE!!!!

hello Mrs. Julie, regards here from Indonesian! nice to see u in the video

хороший и качественный у вас инструмент и все необходимое для стройки. У нас в России всё китайское быстро ломается

one tip for you when putting in fixing bolts , leave the nuts on as your hammering them in or you can stuff up the ends

Great video thanks

Snow is a *really* good insulator. When people go winter camping, snow helps them keep from freezing! Also, if you have a battery fire, don't try using snow to put it out, because the snow will contain the heat, and then when the snow eventually melts or slides out of the way, the fire could easily rage even higher.

Using the sponge was a neat idea.

Oh my gosh! You guys are so cool!

Build back better. good work.

god bless you"

Good job!!! I see a great need for guttering. Love watching the progress.

...gettin' there, good job, stay safe...

Nice work Jules! You are awesome.

I love your channel. I've been binge-watching your videos most of the day that started back in October of 2020. I just noticed something that you might consider adding to the vertical support posts for the landing at the top of the exterior stairs. If you put some diagonal support braces between the two vertical posts and probably also the posts and the outside of the house there will be less chance of the supports buckling if for some strange reason something like a moose ran into one of the vertical posts...Safety first...lol

Well done Marty & Jules, Stairs are tricky to do for the non -pro as it is, let alone the length of those. Cheers

Awesome 👏 😀👍

Looks great, like the fancy brackets.

I didn't want this video to end. You guys are amazing. Merry Christmas from Chesapeake Virginia.

You should have put straw around the concrete piers to keep the insulated

Lot's of fun watching this here Fairley odd Couple build this 2nd story Deck Staircase, absolutely wonderful, love the indie rock music y'all were listen to like I said definitely subscribing and liking this video, whatcha doin is catching keep up the good work ! 😊

Looking Good, however I woul have put a platform half way down, the reason is I have see small childen and eldely person fall all the way down, and ended up with not pleasant inguries. A platform halfway down does break a fall, and inguries are not as bad as a full flight. People do stumble on steps, some thing to consider.

It’s starting to look amazing.. I can’t wait to see the final work of the home. I love the idea of putting the guest staircase from the outside..

You are a brave bunch, it is far beyond what I would ever want to try, but age is no longer on my side. Too much water has flowed under my bridges, too much wear has taken its toll. Still, I admire you and your family, for still thrusting ahead in the weather, well done. I expected to see far more bounce on the staircase, I guess you feel the bounce more when you walk the treads. Though, without a handrail, I would have to sit that one out, a 'me' problem, my legs are not what I would like them to be.

👍👍👍 Very Nice Team Job. ❤️ from Israel.

You could install the top and bottom treads and tie a string to set the rest to..

Ive seen stairs supported from the center of the stringers to the base of the posts for the deck platform. Could be a option if you rather have it supported already. Looks good

tahniah

Great team work Mr Johnson, build outside stairs 👍

How good is that water proofing that Jules done , its a good feeling knowing that water ain’t penetrating into the timber hey, especially stairs 👍

woowww Good Job Pak Martin...

Hey Martin you knows allot I like all your videos

Should think about putting support around the landing legs. With that distance I wonder if it'll tend to wobble

Looking great 👍

As always great video. You may wish to put a 2x4 on the inside of the 3 stringers it wil, increase the strength

When you have to make a new fire, take a piece of what newspaper, Dip it in the ashes and clean the inside of the window in the door. You will find it cleans and get𝘀 Nice and clear so you can see the flames and 𝗰 sick𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀. If you make a habit of this cleaning your window in the stove Will stay sparkly clean all the time. The stairway looks great guys. 𝗟𝗢𝗟 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗶 𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗵𝗶𝗼 I.

Thanks for sharing. Great work also

You've just got a new follower from Brazil 🙌 I'm amazed at all you guys have done so far! Congrats! And I love working with wood as well

Wow you 're so amazing, I Think in US home architect no need again, because most of people can built their own dream home.Greetings from indonesia

Hi! In Poland, where I live, the climate is identical. However, no one builds outdoor wood stairs. All make concrete or metal stairs. I really like the concept you got in the movie. Just tell me one thing if you can. How to protect stairs against snow or rain so that they do not rot. Do you have to paint them every few seasons? And what kind of wood and paint You use?

Treads will cup, hold water/ice.

Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!

Hope Jules saw the ‘your daughter’ compliment 😀

The video made me cold, have a very Happy Christmas thank you for your posts they have been very entertaining. Cheers John from Devon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 9°C

I always wanted to know how they build and make. Apartment and houses floors so they won’t fall. For a long time…,

Nice job so far. I do have a suggestion that you might not have thought about. Snow coming off the roof and potential ice dams "will" break you stairs and hand rails of a very short time. I have had this issue in Breckenridge. Totally destroyed the north deck. I would suggest a stair roof extension. The only thing that will eliminate that issue.

Приветствую из России Мартин;) вот решил смотреть ваше видео, для изучения языка, хоть и пока не особо понятно, но мне понравилось! хорошая работа, удачи вам;)

Very good job! 👍

Looks awesome guys you have come a long way. Merry Christmas ~Cheri

In western Wisconsin where I live, the frost line is 48 inches, big difference.

Great video guys!

Use those paddle bits with the impact!!!!

@ 23:15 there is a nice new brush grapple for the tractor on the trailer 👍. would of thought a plow or snowblower also would be this year but guess not 🤔 a used enclosed cab would be nice as well 😏

121520/0316h PST. Thank you. So much of hard work, indeed. Stay safe, please and Bless you. 73s...
