Stairs and Porch Repair - Part 7 - Posts and Railings

We're getting near the end now, but there's some important rules and tips to know in order to build a railing so that it remains strong for many years to come.
Even simple jobs can have a lot of details to keep in mind. In the 7th part of this mini-series, of the rebuilding of a front porch and set of stairs, we cover:
- Framing theory
- fastener choice
- common mistakes with decks, porches, and exterior stairs
- railling considerations
- choosing lumber for stair stringers
- metal connectors / hangers
As always, this isn't a comprehensive how-to guide, but rather it is a look into some of the work and details that goes into a carpentry project. Make sure you do your own research regarding your local codes and building practices.
