In this abandoned building renovation episode, we do a stair makeover, with motion activated LED lighting. Use code MODUSTRIAL50 to get 50% OFF your first Factor box at bit.ly/47kelxr
For this easy DIY staircase makeover, I show how to install maple hardwood stair treads, and how I make my own stair risers out of plywood. The star of the show is the LED under-tread lighting that is motion activated. For the LED stair lights, I installed motion sensors at the top and bottom of the staircase. I then routed channels under the nose of each stair tread, where I installed COB led strips, which are wired to and LED stair controller installed under the stairs. This is an easy DIY project that anyone can do, and makes a dramatic difference in the appearance of your stairs.

Why did you cut the back bit off AFTER finishing the treads? Wouldn't it make more sense to first cut and then finish so the cut edge is also sealed?

I subscribed 3 yrs ago when you bought this building and boy I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey. Not only was this educational and entertaining but more importantly it was motivating and inspiring to do what makes you happy unapologetically and let nothing stop you. Love you man keep going we here for the next chapter. From this veteran I salute you sir.

I remember in one of the first videos of this makeover, you said, "Maybe you are lucky and will be binging the entire series". Well, I was not lucky back then and have been waiting for each episode. Now that the reveal is near, maybe it is time to rewatch and binge the series!

I'd suggest you to update stair lights to DIY solution: ws2812b addressable led strip + esp32 board running WLED software. It has plugin for stairs. Even though it is way more complicated and not just plug and play - it gives truly endless possibilities in customization, scenarios, effects and integration into smart home@@modustrial

I remember how I felt when we finished the remodel in our home. Working evenings and weekends for ten months took a real toll on us. When we finally realized that we could move in, it was like Christmas and birthdays all rolled into one. It was such a relief to be done with all the planning and decisions. It’s time to enjoy all your hard work!

Well done, Mike! Merry Christmas to you and all your viewers!

I gotta say, your attitude about diving into things and learning them without hesitation is great. This whole reno has been a lot of fun, and we've used your videos to learn how to do some of our own projects. I've been watching you for years with my sons, and you set the right maker mindset as an example for them. We await the final reveal with baited breath.

I've been binging your videos the past few days (well nights - late nights actually) and am frustrated (totally not your fault) because the final video hasnt been released. But then I think of all the viewers who have watched since day one, four years ago. We happened to buy our current house about 4 years ago and had to move during shutdown, and then had our master-bath refinished plus the basement finished when lumber goods were sky-high, so went with metal framing, too. I'm glad we are past those days and can enjoy our new home and I hope you are enjoying yours. Thank you for the entertainment and inspiration for future projects - and my dream home!

@goodgoat3096 6 ай бұрын

The pressure sensitive acrylic adhesives (PSA) typically used on LED strips lose bond strength with excessive heat or cold. Plus you have a difference in linear expansion / contraction due to heat and humidity between the wood stair tread and the polyimide (DuPont Kapton) used for the LED substrate and copper conductors. The PSA's work best on high surface energy materials like glass & metals and less on lower surface energy materials like plastics. The super glue may have warded off some future maintenance. Great project!

Even though I've been here since the Rockler plywood challenge pixel resin pour bench it's still kind of weird finally seeing this renovation coming to an end. I remember in one of the first renovation vids when you were postulating that the whole thing should take about a year, maybe a year & a half tops. Oh how naive we all were pre-Pandemic. LOL. It's gotta be cathartic finally being ACTUALLY DONE with this whole crazy ride. Can't wait to see you get back to nifty concrete projects, guitars, and fun lamps and wood projects.

Amazing work all those years. Keep up!. One pro tip when installing LED Strips, its better to install them on a alumunum profile for better heat dissipation and longer LED lifespan. For COB leds like the ones you use there you don't need a profile with cover. Just an aluminum backplate. Greetings from Greece.

The bricks looks pretty beat up and that large patch of purple is pretty hideous - a stain on an otherwise gorgeous entryway. And I am so looking forward to the final reveal.

I've been a subscriber since you built the skateboard speaker, and I've been nothing but impressed. I was a little bumed out when you were moving out of the loft, but what an upgrade this building has been. It's hard to believe its been 3 years! Feels like last week you announced that you bought an abandoned building 😅
