I love the stacked platforms instead of the zigzag style. Much cleaner look.👍🏼 Several folks mentioned your easy going way with Maverick and I so agree. It’s not just letting him “climb on dad” it’s what you’re NOT saying, “Stop, I’m working right now.”, “Can’t you see I’m busy with this?”, or, “Go play with Belle.” Kudos for teaching love and compassion by example. 😊❤️

Oh no! Look at all the saw dust! Now Ashley's going to have to vacuum the driveway again ;) Lol! Honestly, you two are doing a wonderful job. You give me such inspiration. I've seen so many people take what appears to be a simple job, and turn it into a convoluted, complicated task that the first thought is "I don't think I need it that bad." You tackle things in such a straight forward way, explaining as you go along, that I can see how easy and do-able certain projects are. I know you always say "This is just OUR way", and if it doesn't work (which is seldom), you tell us the particulars and how you fixed it. Y'all don't know just how helpful you are. Thank you for that.

I love your stairs! So sensibly made and comfortable for anyone to use regardless of how big their feet are. Have you ever seen some really old buildings with steep, very shallow steps? Yikes, you have to practically go sideways. The beauty of your design, is that will never happen to anyone. Will you be painting or staining them? That textured paint is great for stairs or you can just mix a little sand into a can of exterior paint. A railing is such a good thing to have and it's surprising how much use you actually end up getting out of it - to prop up a piece of furniture as you're trying to get it in or out, little ones feel more secure with something to hold onto, same goes for older people, stops you from falling if you slip on rain or snow and so handy if you have an attack of dizziness, etc. I just love the way you and Ashley tackle projects with gentle cooperation and respect.

I agree with Ashley, it's amazing Doug! We are renovating a Mobile home & 1 1/2 of a doublewide & joining them togather. I am short 5'2" probably about Asley's height.. Only got a few years on her 64. And climbing in & out of the renovation with make shift steps that are still to short, gets old pretty quick. I'm showing my Hubby this, in Hope's he may get the idea, he's taller & it's not so hard on him, but so far he mostly works on the outside, so it probably won't change until he has to climb in & out.. lol I love these steps so much, I'm gonna try & get him to copy them.

If you used wood railings and made them a little wide on the first step out of the house, you could put French cleats on the outside of the railing and build flower boxes to hang off them. You could also plant herbs for the kitchen. With French cleats you could take down the boxes easily to store in the shop during winter. Hope somebody finds this useful.

i like the platform with steps. I do have a suggestion . Since you get snow and ice You should put risers between your runner on the steps. if you or Ashley or even the kids move too quickly upon the steps you could slip between one of them and tear up an ankle or brake a leg. with the riser that would not happen. But it was a great idea and no one has one like it.
@hardenmama18004 жыл бұрын
Looks great! One thing to consider - the moisture in the new wood will freeze and make it very slippery. My mother in law had a terrible fall because she didn’t realize there was a thin layer of ice on her new steps on a cold fall morning.
