If I may suggest 1 thing that would help make things a little easier for you and that is to add blocking at handrail height on the stairs so that when you add handrails after the drywallers come you don't have to be so picky about attachment points for your handrail

Love seeing the progress! A cool feature to put on the stairs is stair lighting. super easy to do by putting a small board on top of the skirt board with just enough overhang to hide led tape lighting on the bottom side of it. You can use the same tape lighting as undercabinet lighting and it gives such a sleek and modern look having both sides of the stairs lit up nicely. almost like a runway effect.

Hey, StudPack crew. Man, you guys made that stairway build look so easy, but than again, almost everything you guys do, you make it look so easy.....Jordan I guess thats due to your Dad's knowledge and experience 👍.You and Rad are extremely blessed to have him around and teaching you guys..... you know what, I guess he's teaching all of us around the world watching Studpack videos. Lets all be a sponge and absorb all that we can. It's amazing now that you guys can just loop up to the second floor using the stairs and no more step ladders 😂. Moving along nicely 👌. BTW, you guys have overcome and reached the peak of "Mount Studpack" 👍. The backyard looks nice and clean. I can picture a lovely green garden in the future. Take care guys. From South Africa 🇿🇦

I love how things are moving now. Much different pace than when you were working on the slab. Keep it going!

Love the “mechanical room” under the stairs. IMO there’s no better option than this. So awesome you guys are on to the second floor! Stud Pack let’s gooooo!

Appreciate you guys and thank you for allowing us into your lives with this building. It’s going to be epic!!

I've been watching since October 2019. I've seen this channel grow so much. The content just gets better and better!

Awesome stairs guys! I was taught a little different but with same results, the 2x you attached to the stringer, we would pop a line on the wall for the bottom of the stringer, nail the 2x in and then the stringer to that 2x and that was quick and easy. Also just a note, its easier to put wall bracing on the inside of the walls so you can sheath the walls with braces on.

Jordan, you are SO BLESSED to have such a knowledgeable and hard-working dad!!! I pray you are learning (AND RETAINING) some of his knowledge.

Great to see things moving along after all of the delays you guys had to deal with. Good stuff! I for one am learning heaps of little tricks

Another epic post on the dream home from Texas. Can’t wait to see the next framing. Solid work on the stairs. I can see you’ll have plenty of room going up and down on the new stairs 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great video guys!!! I agree, awesome use of materials and beautiful stairs. Excellent communication skills when describing computer software, planning steps, construction techniques and installation considerations.

The precision & value engineering of this project is so impressive! Your content & detailed explanations of the building process are spot on! Looking forward to the next video. TII

Always have a positive attitude. That’s really key to anything.

I really look forward to Friday and your new video post. I grew up in construction from slopping tar on basement walls to pouring concrete to Sheetrock to finish work. Love your videos!!

Really enjoy watching you guys go the extra step on your projects and the attention to detail is amazing! When the garage is completed will you go directly to demoing the house and start that build?

Totally awesome stairway with zero play, squeak, or bowing. Gotta love it.

This project is fueled by love and respect! God bless u and looking forward to the next episode

If you hang the solar inverters in the space under the stairs, make sure you have adequate ventilation. Those units produce a pretty amount of heat. Besides that, a technical room is a great idea.

NOTE: your local code may require the accumulative error be set in a specific area. My local code requires it be at the first step and the last step. This is because we pay attention when we get on the stairs and get off but not so much when we are on them. Sort of like the attention needed to ride an escalator. Consider the door to get to the space under the stairs be outside so you don't lose any wall space inside the garage.

The only problem with this is the bathroom, kitchen, and garage sink are all the way on the other side. Plumbing runs would be a whole lot shorter if the heater was high on the opposite garage wall (which is still exterior for easy venting).

Give your building inspector a call about placing the electrical panel under the stairs, they generally have clearance requirement in front of and to the sides of the panel that may not work in that space. Also, if you place batteries in there don't forget a smoke detector for in there.

@UnlikelyToRemember

Looks to me like until the house & bridge is built those stairs are the only exit from the apartment. If so, and if I was putting lithium batteries and electrical equipment in under the stairs I would want to use Durock or at least fire rated drywall to enclose that space (along with a smoke detector).

PAUL you’re the GC and architect!!! Jordan is the property owner, lender and developer! And Rad is the subcontractor/labor force 😂😂

Lol I loved the statement near the end, about how the garage will provide some shade to the driveway of the neighbors. I would love that sometimes, when working on my family's cars. Having the room and airflow/breeze of a driveway, but the shade of being inside a garage would be nice. Plus, the shade helping to keep the cars cooler, so it's not just an oven whenever you'd need to go out xD

Another great video. Thanks again for bringing us all along the great journey of this build. It’s always exciting to see the progress.

Great update, I've never seen stairs built from scratch like that. Very cool, and tons of info! 👍 The only thing I wondered: doesn't it make more sense to cut both stringers at once? Or is it that the circular saw can't cut both?

@buryzenek002

11 ай бұрын

I've done it couple of times on some wood pieces and I thought it'll be alright but maybe due to my lack of experience at that time even that both of them were clamped together, they still moved a little bit and they were not identical which was very frustrating

@aweisen1

11 ай бұрын

Think about how the blade is a circle. And how the angle of attack would be much shallower on the bottom stringer leaving more cleanup with a perpendicular blade like a jig saw. If you're doing production framing, It could be faster but, they were only doing three stringers and probably just wanted to be as perfect as possible.

Hey Stud Pack! Thanks for the great treat for the start of the weekend: A cool video to watch! The stairs look great and it was a pleasure to watch it all go together!! I picked up some good tips while seeing you guys do yours - ESPECIALLY the website for BLOCKLAYER! A thought: if you're going to put a bunch of electronics, etc. under those stairs, maybe think about a way to ventilate the area for some airflow. Where you have batteries, etc., you'll want some air moving to a degree. But, maybe you've already thought of that? Finally - now that things are moving a good clip, PLEASE take a moment to focus on worksite safety; I hate to sound like Safety Sally - nothing crazy, but hopefully, before your days begin, you talk about it a little? NOTHING is going to ruin things faster or more thoroughly than one (or more) of you getting hurt! Coming from a guy who's spent most of his life in the production industry, I can tell you that 5-10 minutes at the start of the day, and at the halfway point of the day to just CHAT about the plan and how things are going etc., can really pay dividends! NOT getting hurt, while performing quality work - should be the goal! :) Anyway - WELL DONE ALL!!!!

Not only do you learn from them, but we all do as well. I especially love in this video how you walked us through the steps you take (pun intended), the errors to avoid (like how overcutting the stringers could make the throat too narrow), and the tools you need to knock out those awesome stairs!

Hi from Australia I look forward to your videos. Dad you are a great role model for your children, well done guys keep those videos coming👍🏾

Thank you for sharing. You have all come a long way from the start. The garage is looking great. Remember if you place a closet under the staircase NFPA 101 does allow the space under the stairs to be used, but the space must be separated from the stair enclosure by fire-resistance-rated construction that is the same as the exit enclosure, and the entrance to this space can not be from within the stairwell. Check with local building codes to be sure. Best to you and the family and keep on building.

Great stuff, guys. It looks solid! Can't wait for the rest.

Never been so happy for you guys to see stairs! You must be thrilled! Looks awesome. Congrats!

We have a saying "There no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing" but that's bullocks. I've modified that to "There no such thing as bad weather only bad gloves". That was a mighty fine staircase you built there and guaranteed not to squeak with the application of the glue to each stringer. I'll be watching every episode until the house is done. Cheers!
