This instructional video shows builders constructing a new staircase inside a home. The builders discuss the technicalities of designing staircase dimensions to meet building code requirements. They lay out the design using a stringer and marker sticks to plan tread height and placement. Various tools like circular saws, drills and handsaws are used to cut and shape the wood pieces. As each step is constructed, the builders emphasize proper technique like adding adhesive and angling screw placement. Once fully assembled, the new staircase is tested for levelness and stability. Viewers learn carpentry skills for building sturdy interior stairs using measurements and considerations for strength and safety.

And there was Jaime “biting his tongue” waiting for a time to say something, so you have to give your younger brother credit (and let him say more, but maybe have a timer so once he starts he has 90 seconds or something like that).

I do cut stairs a similar way, although I usually pre-make them before installing but in this case you had no choice! I usually cut the top thread Depth 1-1/2" short so I can slap a 2x6 behind them an nail everything together (of course use spiral of rink shank nails 😉😉🤪) which them gives me solid 2x6 material to screw at 8" o/c

@WutipongWongsakuldej Ай бұрын

I meant to put this comment on the last video, and I forgot lol. I'm from Thailand where most houses are brick houses, and hardwood is a kind of luxury material. I've been watching house building from the US and Japan and I'm facinated by the fact that they build wooden houses. I've been wondering about the termite problems that you would see in wooden house, and your last video explain it. Thank you. There used to be more wooden houses, but after some illegal wood harvesting problem long time ago, woods become too expensive to be used to build a house. My own house is pretty old (30+ years, probably 40), and it has a staircase built with concrete (probably bricks too, I don't know exactly). Some of the modern houses in the country has wooden staircases for some reason, and some of them got termites eating up the staircases problem

@colingallagher8988 Ай бұрын

Always measure overall rise (change in elevation) from where the staircase starts to the area where the staircase will set on the floor/ground. I learned this back when I built decks as the ground was never level. Love the content!

My fave was the YTuber who bought precut stringers, set them so treads were level, then built the deck so the risers worked out. The lengths folks will go to, to avoid lower math is amazing

Jamie, in one of your videos you said in some countries when they top out the roof they stop for a week and celebrate, i wanna give you some info on this. It originates from when the roof used to be built with a heavy ass ridge truss/board/beam, they needed help with hoisting it up. Then when the heaviest piece as in ridge beam was hoisted up they feasted the helpers. This is called harjakaiset in finnish, what could be translated to ridgeparty.

I feel the pain with these old stairs. I just added bamboo finished treads to my stairs going to the second story. The original treads were MDF supported by two 1x12 ? Stringers. They were typical housing development git- r -dones. I had all sorts of noise. I should have started over but adding more lumber, from underneath, glue and screws plus the finished treads, they are solid. A burglars dream.

The biggest problem of remodeling stairs in older homes,they didn't follow code...in height nor length and rise. Limited length of run is usually the largest issue. There is a post currently on reddit . Apparently in some regions they raise the front entrance to meet flood plane.😂 Inside the front main door is a 1 step platform, only then do you step down into the entire main floor. Poor pre planning offers many gifts to the idiot gods of mayhem in building. Along with corners in kitchens ,low head room on stairs. The ability to accept failure, immediately change or rip out what is wrong...is a sign of craftsmanship. Well done fellows!

If you know you need to take 1” off… draw a line at 1” down on the bottom step. Draw a line vertically down from the riser to give you a cross point. Chalk a line from that point to the top tread/riser. Then each riser draw a line straight down and intersect the chalk line. This will give you a progressive measurement down the stairs.

If you have two sets of stairs in a house the risers should be identical in height. The reason being that it’s muscle memory in your legs that gives you the correct height to lift your feet without actually thinking about it. If you don’t keep them the same, the householders will constantly catch their feet on the step.

PROTIP: When finding Total Rise of a staircase, set a laser at the top of the second floor and measure up to the laser line from the first floor where the heel is going to land! Account for flooring and height of the laser to make an accurate measurement but otherwise you'll get it bang on every time.

Next time run a laser line across from your landing height & then measure down to where the first tread will be 😉 Apart from that I don't know if it was the camera angle or if Jay is blind as a bat but level was not showing level LOL. I once had to build a curved staircase on-site despite my protests that it was stupidest thing ever & should be done in a workshop. But I did it & measurements miraculously worked out, I had to build a full size jug to laminate up all the curved stringer & it was an absolute stress nightmare & if I was ever asked to do it again I would refuse.
