To aid with the use of the stairs, trim the treads to protrude the same amount from the stringers using a string line. You'd be surprised how easy it is to trip on the slightest difference. Good sturdy construction.
A wonderful use of old timber. Such a shame that it is only a temporary creation. Nevertheless, a 'step' in the loving restoration of your delightful house. Repetition is a thing about reclaiming features, kudos to Marion, and yourself, as the time spent is producing excellent results.
Great job. My only concern is the particle board treads. Particle board is not very strong and worried that one may crumble and cause a dangerous fall. Maybe add support down the center? Love the narration. 😊
I'm wincing a bit, because one of the first things I learned was not to use screws for sideways loading, as they snap. I appreciate this is temporary, just thought I'd pass the info on.
I would strongly advise you also make a hand rail, it will be easy to misjudge your step and fall. That’s the last thing anyone of us would want to hear about.
Ha!.... clever.. the way you slipped a 'stealth nanny state Health and Safety warning' in, there....!! As a keen follower of a number of different 'renovation channels'... I never cease to be amazed by the extent of the OBSESSION punters have with H & S.....!!!
I would suggest to stress test the lowest steps to the max, before you (carrying something really heavy, like a bag of mortar) crash through it halfway.
For a temporary staircase Lewis, I'm sure that'll do just fine. The one thing that worries me is the fact that you screwed the very top of the stair strings into timber that (in theory) could snap (the top of the strings that is). I'm sure if that were to happen, the stairs won't go anywhere or collapse. I would be tempted though to put screws in an inch or two on the angle; obviously the screws would have to be VERY long to make sure they met the flooring joists. The other thing is, was Marion wearing safety glasses when chipping away at the old mortar... I do hope so? Keep up the good work, you're both doing a fantastic job!
A somewhat curious statement, I think.... It sounds like you're saying 'I don't understand how something I don't understand, works......!!' Hmm..... And, strong enough for what....!?
It's a totally oversized piece of lumber. And it's only slightly damaged for about an inch or so from the top side of the stringer. The screws for the thread supports are not even close to that area. Plus the supports are also resting on the step below. Absolutely no danger at all with that. If there is anything dangerous about the stairs would be the way it's fastened to the landing and/or to the ground below. But unless the bottom part of the stringers starts sliding backwards (which would take a crazy amount of force due to friction) that is also not really a problem.
This journey is now elevated to a another level thanks to your staircase. Will definitely make moving around a lot easier on the joints.
Nice job building your first flight of stairs with remnant materials!
listening to your narration and watching your videos make me happy :)
Stairs! I am sure both of you are smiling right now with that new addition. It will change everything! Great video.
This is the strongest temporary staircase I have ever seen being made. It's great to see the progress of your work.
Strong? Thin chipboard as a stair step? The steps are the weakest part. Should have used left over beams for the steps and chipboard for the spacing.

Great "step" ahead in the project. Love the voice.
Well done! 🎉
Mission accomplished!

My achievement this weekend is to congratulate you as first for yet another interesting and nicely narrated video 😊
I second that 😂
Thanks…..this project is amazing and the finish will be beautiful.
You are getting somewhere.. well done.
Great work 😊💪💪💪
Step in the right direction! 🎉🎉
Great job.
Are you going to fit a handrail?
Fibreboard for stairs?

@@andymccabe6712 are you ok?

Fiber board should break pretty fast… Unless it is made of big chips like osb.
👍👍
Make a shadow box with the old nails taken out. Just idea. 😊😊

A couple of cheap angle brackets screwed into the sides of the stringers and the joists would fix them in place in five minutes.....!!
👍
Always up... is there a second staircase where you go down?
No..... but I think there's a snake.......!
Rite of passage ? 😊
I always wonder how fibre board can be strong enough - I guess it's the glue 🤔
A somewhat curious statement, I think.... It sounds like you're saying 'I don't understand how something I don't understand, works......!!'
Hmm.....
And, strong enough for what....!?
👍👍👍👍👏
sorry, but you wasted the room for your feet with this thick plank.
the left stairside is really in bad shape , around fifth step, dangerous
I'm 99.9% certain this is total, unsubstantiated nonsense..... 'Tara.. etc'.....!!
