I'm a bit confused... at the 7:24 minute mark, I see you screwing in the 2"X6" back brace to the new stringer. The back brace is painted pink higher up at the repair area but not AT the repair area. Are those two separate 2X6's butted against each other or is the 2X6 one solid piece of lumber running all along the entire stringer? Thanks!
Yes, those are two separate 2x6's butted up against each other. The reason is because both the stringer and the back brace were both rotted out at the bottom of the staircase. Notice how I cut more of the stringer so that the back brace extended down further and therefore allowed for an area to screw the new stringer onto the old back brace.
nice project. Good idea on getting the old concrete out of the ground.
very good job
