You can tell Rob know what he doing when he was using that small skill saw to notch out the stepping boards at the end. Had that board leaning on his leg 😅🤣🤘🏽
-
Construction work in sandals lol, gotta love it.

I’m building a deck this weekend. I have been looking for a way to add railings. This video gave me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
-
Looks great! Gonna be installing a railing on my mother's stairway at her cottage in a few weeks and think i'll go with this style!
-
Thank you. This has helped me visualize what I need to do to fix my back stairs
-
Glad you showed the stair rail. Wanted to see it over the post
-
I can't believe they survived this project. Harbor freight should sponsor this because I trust their tools about the same
-
You guys are VERY TRUSTING of one another... your friend is wearing sandals while holding the post with his foot while you drill from the opposite side and later you're holding the post while he uses the recip saw to saw the post top off in the direction your head! 🤣😂🤣 Anyway, I was hoping to find an easy way (easy for me anyway) to make one handrail on some porch steps than hang over the stringer several inches so thanks for sharing! 🙂

That looks good
-
This shows everything you shouldn`t do when building steps lol
-
Nice job!
-
I want to do something VERY similar to this stairway, but I couldn't find much about it. After a few days of searching in my spare time, this is the best thing that I've seen. I like that style.

The lady eating chips in the background makes me laugh and then Rob losing his hat at 9:55.
-
Good job
-
A chill on those Boston jokes kid lol
-
love the sandals lol
-
Should of used a couple carriage bolts through that stringer and post but looks good guys
-
I know this is 2 years old but I really enjoyed watching this and it will help me with a project I’m planning out now. A couple of real guys working on a DIY project for sure. All the mistakes and safety concerns really makes this a DIY project and I don’t mean that in a negative way. I’ll supplement my video sources with a couple of This Old House episodes to get more of a professional approach but again this is how most things get done when a couple of guys are willing to go at it.

Turned out great but I'm wondering what good the blocks inside the base of the posts are doing. They appear to be just screwed into the posts?
-
Not criticizing you guys working, but that rail will not pass code at least here on the west coast...all stairs must be anchored to concrete at the bottom, the 2x6 top cap must be changed to allow a person to grab a hold in case of falling...the ballasts, will only stay in position for about two years only using one nail. That deck will only last about 5 years until it needs quite a bit of repair work....I'm a deck builder I guarantee our decks to last 75 years.
