I was just curious is there a reason you didn't

I'm learning. So I actually thought that was the process

Where are the steel concrete post embeds. Simpson cbsq 66 dummy

They wiggle lol

I was thinking that myself. Not sure plumbing it helped, you need some support off of the other stringers. Cut it 1 1/2 back and throw a solid kick on, maybe some blocking

Don’t lean on those posts!

Was wondering why he didn’t mud it in or use ties/anchors.

That’s what thought of lol

Gets me every time I hear it.

I once knew a man that would clamp 2 beads onto a post to level it. So fucking funny

@@M.Godfrey I almost pissed my pants when I read that. Good one cuz

​@@M.Godfrey lmfao

Beat me to it. This guy is greener than the ground contact pt he’s using

I was going to call him on it too bro

@@biguprochester Just still Wet behind the Ears. And am sure that he is learning as he goes. Without any Teachings.

You want a cookie or something for that revelation

You know what a plump line is

Should have been scribed to the concrete

They should, if you live in a place where it rains and you place them right on the concrete it rots the wood. I live in a very rainy place and if I did this the bottom wood would be completely rotten after 2-3 years especially if its not impregnated with anything.

Who uses a post base for a handrail post? Also, PT stringers on a a proper concrete pad… yes. Only thing i would do different is notch the bottom and install a full cleat so i can screw down into the concrete. Nothing he did was wrong

People who want a stand-off from water and want things to last. To each their own. You’re right it’s not wrong, but it could be better.

Yeah that was the first thought I had those posts will rot nothing on them to protect against wet weather😮.

@@stuartsharples9520 that’s a ground contact post. It won’t rot out for a long long time.

No risers either

Absolutely. I'd also block the lower stringer/tread.

Wrong it’s on the wrong side of the stringer and it’s not blocked in it doesn’t need to go further back

Haha yeah! Just wanted to make sure everything was squared up

Yeah, it can easily creep out of square working your way up. Nice. But such an American way of doing things. Interesting to see different ways.

🙆

​​​@@bigballox6454 I think I'm picking up what you're putting down and as an American all I can say is "definitely a unique but probably an entirely deserved quip" sir.hahaha

String line would have been a great idea. Thanks for the tip :)

Thank you for the correction. Im in the bad habit of using those terms interchangeably

Amazing how many obvious issues are packed into one video. I wouldn't comment if it was 1 here or there I usually chalk minor discrepancies up to personal preference. The base of the stairs aren't anchored to the concrete and are in direct contact so you'll have wiggle and rot. The stringers seem to widely spaced for 5/4 board so you'll get sag possibly. Timber screws instead of threw bolts wont last. I have my way of doing things and if I posted a video I'd expect to be nit picked. Some people are more sensitive to constructive criticism than others

Master carpenters? Lol I think they are giving the guy criticism for a reason and from what I’ve read, they’re not wrong, it doesn’t take someone with 30 years behind the job to tell these things… quit complaining lol

Well, the criticisms are 100% valid. Posts should go inside the stair stringers so they can be blocked and fastened from perpendicular angles.

I got 40 years + in the trades, this ain’t how you anchor railings & absolutely not how to set wood on concrete, all 50 states require a moisture barrier & the posts have to take a minimum of 250 lateral load which no strapping will maintain, there’s a reason it’s called STANDARDS, you should be able to go anywhere & build anything & know it’s code by year 2, when I was a pup youngsters were hired to help speed a job, now y’all do anything but HELP,you millennials are just something else & it ain’t good, respect is EARNED, period

We here!

Maybe he shimmed the gap at bottom stringer

😂😂😂do it then

Absolutely 💯

There's always that one guy on KZfaq who has to bring others down to feel better about themselves. Congratulations on your accomplishment

@@Rlazalier are you not doing the same by commenting that ? Only difference is his was one the video he watched yours is on another man’s opinion that you went looking for and now crying that you found it

@Ryan Lazalier If he would tie all 3 stringers together with squash blocks and tie the post to them, it would pass code.

That’s not a bad idea but I didn’t feel like it needed it on this project

Always a good idea. If you can cut stringers you can cut for a cleat. It's my house is no excuse. Practice what you preach

In this case it will be a good idea plus some blocking in between each stringer to have some strong post.

@@arjparke3124Bro shut up

@@arjparke3124it’s going to go anywhere what with the three toenails holding each stringer to the rim joist lol

Not a bad idea at all

@@PureAeternum Anything to keep the moisture in the wood and have it dissipate slowly.

@@PureAeternum That would depend on what wood you're using. Most Douglas Fur is delivered or bought wet and when the end grain allows the moisture to escape. The boards develops splits on the ends. If you're looking at using a hardwood like oak and you're in an environment that has a lot of moisture like the beach , then yeah you have to seal all the board well.

@@PureAeternum I may have misunderstood you. If you're cutting stringers and you have end grain. It should be sealed with a good building adhesive. I would suggest a caulk tube of PL or subfloor adhesive.

@@PureAeternum Here in California Douglas Fur comes to us as wet as if it was just floated down the river.

You got that right!! :)

Hahaha…the other job was building my own deck lol so yeah…not what you assumed

And the problem is? When I price a job for material and labor. If there’s anything left. It’s the builders

I'll be sure to leave my scraps in my customer's back yard next time, I'm sure they'll appreciate that.

So if he bought exactly the right amount, cost would be lower, so who paid for them? Not the last customer unless you made a deck smaller than promised.

@@deadfisher0000 hell yeah.

I’m so glad you did! I appreciate the support :)

except the part where they suck

Rookies use these

The way you do it is perfectly good. The way I did it Is simply for aesthetics. I think it give it a bigger look. No one can step in that overhanging step tread because it will be under the handrail. I just like that style more for my house.

Thanks! 😊

Thank you :)

I think the next video I make has the hand rails :) thank you, I appreciate the comment 😁😁

No, 5 1/2" looks bad. Move your stringers out 4 1/2", notch your 4x4. The side overhang should be the same as the front

It wasn’t to bad. But I’ve done so many of them I can almost do it in my sleep 😴

@@MordecaitheBuilder NO, you as a contractor (supposedly) should know what's what. That term should roll off your tongue when a level is vertical it's plum. When Horizontal it's level. See how easy that was. For not knowing, I would think twice about hiring you. Customers are educated and pick up on these things. But hey, it's your business. Happy New Year :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏

Thank you! Cheers!

So glad I was a bit of inspiration:)

Hahaha...thank you. I'm 24 and just trying to build a house for my wife and daughter :)

Let me tell u it doesn't matter about dirty bds.the 1st posts isnt going to hold 6 months u think 6" screws going to hold the post wrong, there's no anchoring,these carpenters hit an run. !!!

​@@MordecaitheBuilder please use risers. It makes your stairs so much stronger

I always do that on longer stringers

Treated lumbers made to go on concrete genius

16 inch max

You're

@BryanL1982 but did you get what I meant?

@Joe Parker .... ever contractor? Not a single contractor did things properly?
