ADDING STAIRS To Our 625 sqft Deck

[@ladyloquitavida148]

I was picturing your Children's weddings, with all the families lined up on those beautiful stairs, and you and Josh smiling with pride and joy! Brightest blessings to you always! ❣

[@marygallagher6262]

I was also picturing their little girl all grown up walking out on the deck and down those steps on her wedding day.😁

[@CaptLeeRApture]

For rain drainage of course control where it travels to ground... I know exactly what you where thinking sub consciously....lol

[@byronlaw6724]

Now that we got Josh wearing eye protection, next up is hearing protection so he can hear her wedding vows.

[@tremont86]

Josh is such a good man. You can tell he adores his wife and children. Erin, you're the glue that keeps everything together. Blessings to you both

[@stephenfurlong8947]

The laughter and joy you show together is a big part of why everyone loves your videos - that and Josh’s dancing!

[@campupnort1905]

I mean, who can build a house together(plus all that goes with it), and still enjoy each other……….except those who do look for the laughter & joy in the journey!!! So correct, Erin. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to have a glimpse into your family you two😄

[@makapalatrace8385]

Fantastic example you set for your children. True role models. Best on the tube! Thanks!!!

[@iwishiknew10]

looking down that row of stringers was kinda satisfying.. good job

[@JamesSpalding1077]

The commentary from Erin talking about how she, Josh and the rest of the family have stuck to their guns and commitment to build every inch of their house... Made me proud of your family.

[@douglassmith5414]

Looking at all those risers all installed and lined up is beautiful. You did a great job for Non deck builders...great job Josh!

[@MaddogCapt11]

It is awesome that you are supporting "Folds of Honor." As a retired Navy vet, I remember a time in the 70s when the Navy suspended the requirement to travel in uniform because of the vitriol directed to service members in airports and other travel venues. It is encouraging to see that a lot of that has changed. Thank you for supporting the fallen and wounded.

[@JackieHall71]

I love you two working together. You guys have so much fun together and so much love for one another. What a blessing. Have an amazing day.

With your preface that you add at the end of your video is so very heartwarming and what a legacy to leave your family. For years and generations to come family will be able to grasp onto your words and feel your love for them and coming from your heart is not even debatable, for your honesty and integrity is heartfelt Erin!!!

Love the shot of Josh leaning into the camera and putting his safety glasses on. You do read the comments! Don't ever underestimate your progress. You knock it out of the park every time. Wish I had your energy. Best wishes to all!

Loved not only Erin's commentary - which is exceedingly rare and wonderful nowadays - but the contest on who was faster was priceless. Thank-you both for being you.

I build decks and I’ll tell you that is one well built deck you guys built.

[@alexhatcher8812]

yes. i'm still worried about the butted joints overlapping the joists (water can't drain)

[@mauriceryton]

I watched a so called master carpenter build a small building. The floor was like a trampoline when you walked across it. This deck will last a very long time.

[@donpayne562]

@@alexhatcher8812 I was wondering about that , maybe could have used the cut offs for the stringers.

[@snappingbear]

@@alexhatcher8812 yes that is a concern. What do you think about the orientation of the deck boards, running lengthwise with the entrance and stairs instead of perpendicular, won't that make it slippier?

[@DKanon]

I'm no expert ... but it looks like it will last for hundreds of years. Wouldn't that be great.

[@mariadelcarmenlawrence914]

It is absolutely incredible what you two have done alone. But of all that work that you have built, with so much effort and wisdom, what I like the most, and I admire about you ... is the contact of your children with nature and especially with animals. I live in Barcelona, ​​Spain where bullfighting is the national holiday. Your affection shared with your children, and protection and care of animals, surprises me and it is something that has made me very happy ... a lot. Families like you need them here. Thank you for your humanity, your kindness and wished you a life full of love. You are the best. I love you.

[@selenajoyce4636]

You guys are living the dream! Beautiful family. Beautiful home. Your hard work is paying off! Y'all have come a long way! Happy for you guys!

I love seeing the rain! (There's no rain out here in S.D. - very hot and dry). Your deck looks marvelous! Plus now you have more scraps for the wood-burning stove - I used my stove for an entire season using the scraps from my little green-oak cabin in Virginia.

Pressure treated wood is not safe to burn indoors or even outdoor due to the chemicals used to treat the wood.

I doubt outdoor wood will last that long. Build with stone if you're building for centuries or millennia.

It's never fun when you're working outside and it starts raining, but when it's done it will be fun to run up and down the stairs, and thank you for all the smiles and all the laughs 30 years ago I was in trade school and I design my first house, A-frame home Cottage it's amazing to see how close to my blueprints that you belt your home. I'm so happy for all of you

Wide stairs and steps make the entrance grand and homecoming. A nice place to hang out, to put on shoes etc . Provided there's a porch roof to protect from elements. From experience, it is nice to have wide stairs and steps.

Another great visit with your family. I did miss seeing sweet little Ellie. Your deck is going to be absolutely gorgeous. What a great space for family and parties.

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

The fact that every single part of this house build is taking longer than expected is absolutely normal. This is why it must be taken into acount when foreseeing it. Just add about one quarter - or even a third - more than what you expect, then there will be no surprise.

[@anitalehr4151]

Always say...'twice as long & twice the expence'...but it gets accomplished!

[@kluangh1tam]

Unless they have weather control device, taking times doing things are purely normal.

[@tylermurray2265]

The extra time taken, is the extra care and attention that one exudes when building what you want and how you want it! No shame in wanting things to be perfect! Too bad more people weren’t this way! Oh, and yes, always plan to spend more than you think! Lol

[@nigelnathan]

Nice to see a family having fun together, lovely deck and its not too important to stress safety first with all power tools wearing the appropriate PPE is essential.

[@Haksdo2]

Awesome work as always. I was however wondering, have you never thought about buying a party tent of say 10 by 20 feet and use that as your spot to saw/drill etc? With all the rain interruptions, you could at least keep on working partially and you wouldn't have to scramble to keep the tools dry all the time. Just a thought I had.

[@trx350]

Deck looks awesome. For the stair hangers I use the pneumatic palm nailer from porter cable. Incredible game changer when installing ties and stair hangers.

[@davidmessersmith786]

Having a bit of fall in the stair tread is not really noticeable when walking the stairs, but will help water drain off the treads. That’s good for rain and melting snow and ice! I’m afraid your blocking at the base of the stairs is going to trap moisture and lead to early rot of the blocking and deck boards. I would suggest to put a deck board spacer in between that is not fastened and pull it out after fastening the blocking in just above the deck. Also put a bit of tilt on it too.

[@dk2614]

I hate to sound shady but I think Josh is obsessed with perfection and being perfectly square. I believe that blocking is to satisfy the perfectionist in him. Agree that without adequate airflow rot will take out the deck far quicker than being out of square.
