Also, I know you are planning on some exciting treads, but are you thinking about risers? Andrew Camarata is beefing up his 4 story circular staircase with see thru risers because he has a child in his Container Castle.
I am impressed. If people don't try then they never learn. Pat yourselves on the back because you definitely have earned it. Merry Christmas to you and the Best of the New Year!
Watching your progress for years now I am constantly impressed with your meticulous attention to detail and the thoughtful organization you give every component of your well-organized overall project. I don’t know if you have a complete plan for the finished project or conceive each next step as you go on but obviously you have the patience to work for perfection. In another life I suspect you were both rocket scientists!
Merry Christmas Jess and Vaillant. I hope 2025 will see you make amazing progress towards finishing your home. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Sweet, great job on the frame work on the floating stairs. It would look cool have steel spindles between the 2 stairways. Youd see through it yet still have safety. ❤
The stairs, landing and supports look great. For a real flexing test you need to take a 30-40 pound anything and carry it up the stairs to see what that does to the stairs. You will probably be carrying up things for the upper floors up those stairs to live with, so it's reasonable to see what happens when your carrying a load up the stairs now, before you add the extra weight of the treds, whouch could cause them to flex even more under the added tred weight. Who knows, maybe the treds will stiffen them up more, or not. Merry Christmas to you both.
If I was in the middle of your project (more welding, cutting, rust removal, and painting) I would look for a good used 'rotary screw compressor'. They are very spendy, but the rotary screw is quieter than the piston type, no oil, it doesn't need to drain the water because it doesn't accumulate water vapor. The rotary screw can keep up with very high demand.
I’ve eluded to this idea before, but in the ceiling put two structural cross beams 2 to 3 feet after the start of the stairs, and 2 to three feet before the stairs end. Drop from the ceiling two vertical posts of 2”x2” square that come all the way down the meet where the railing will be. Put a 1 1/2”x2 1/2” square tube guardrail that runs the length of the stairs attached to the vertical posts dropping down from the ceiling. Weld in structural 1 1/4” (or there abouts) square tubes as spindles between the undertreads and the guard rail -every 4”s or whatever your local DOB requires reconciled with the width/frequency of your treads. And boom! No more flex on the outside, still mostly floating. Float your tail off the guardrail or spindles, use the same material as the treads (I assume wood?)… not truly floating but still suspended and floating-ish :p hope that idea’s helpful!
Adding the handle will reduce the deflection even more, as it will spread the load across the other treads. Keep up the good work. Have a happy and safe festive break. 🎄
With the treads on, it will also increase the weight on stairs, and possibly obver time the deflection may increase with the metal fatigue of constant use. Possibly a thin triangular wedge shape welded underneath could help distribute the load better and not impeed too much on the floating look. Alternatively, the handrail coud carry some load if a welded baluster was conected to a structural metal hand rail with support posts top and bottom. And, I realize that you might not worry about deflection, as with only 2 of you it might not become noticable for dozens of years & not dangerous in any way... I truly enjoy watching your content, as someone who grew up in my parents machine shop working with metal, and can't wait to see the final finished house!
BRAVO and CONGRATULATIONS on the floating stairs and the landing! I sure admire the level of detail you guys put into doing things as best as possible! Too bad you coulddn't get rectangular tubing completely behind the C-channel stringer so both top and bottom could be welded to the same tubing. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
glass balustrade connecting the treads together also acts as handrail … we had a party yesterday plenty of people on the stairs at the same time with no feeling of give or deflection
A railing on the wall side would be perfect. You'd gravitate towards walking up/down closer to the wall, no need for a railing on the floating edge side. Looks awesome!
The stairs are awesome. Were you a model at one time. You look fabulous on the landing in front of the window. Both of you do awesome work together and are a great team. Merry Christmas to you both. 🎄🎄🎄🎄👍🙌👏🙏
Hello, I like the builds far. Just curious why you're allowing all that salt air into yor steel building. Take a couple hours and put a temporary wall up and a door in it. Just a few 2 x 4's and some OSB. Makes no sense to me?
I love listening to you and your voice and husband. You are a beautiful woman you husband and your makes a good couple you Happy holidays love you videos
Good morning 🌅, P, P, R, look 👀 very nice, and the stairs is looking 👀 great to 😂, well worth the time and effort, I think people are thinking that you are not putting hand rails on in , But I believe that you said that you are putting hand rails on your stairs, are you going to put Oak treats on your treads or metal box, good luck with your project, I wish you both a wonderful Christmas 🎅, and a Happy New Year 🥳, Too, 💋🌹🍷🥳🎄, from France,
Normally when you put anchor plates on concrete you would put packing under the plate about 1" high then drill and bolt the plate down, then once finished grout all those base plates and waaalaaa you will have a aesthetically pleasing looking base plate on the concrete. This also keeps moisture away from the steel on concrete.
Do you think that you might possibly finish building your house in the next 1 - 3 years ? How long have you been working on it so far ? One thing for sure is if there's ever a Typhoon , with all that steel Welded together , it will never blow down ! ✌ out from Eastern Canada to the Western USA . Happy Trails.
why not use a steel plate for the landing. As for the stairs you can stiffin them even more by adding a plate at the end cloestes to the wall, this should move the flex point further out from the wall. You have put renforements on the outside of the C channel you should have put enforcement on the inside of the treds, is what I am meaning.

Had the string been correctly stiffened to prevent twisting before installation there would have been no necessity for props and besides which the number of props are excessive. Careful design and fabrication drawings would have prevented the excessive waste of time and materials and from that aspect the installation is disappointing.
Bonjour Bonsoir, comment vous allez ? Merci de votre super vidéo, je vous souhaite de passé de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année un joyeux Noël à vous et bien finir l'année doucement pour bien rentrée dans l'année 2025, bon courage pour la suite et vivement vos prochains vidéos @+ Serge de la région de Mulhouse en Alsace et de France , bisous @+💋💋💋💋💋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🍻🍻🍻🍰🥮🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆🎆🎆🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆
Apparently you missed the previous videos and the at least two times in this video, where they have clearly said that they are building to code and there will be treads and railings. Besides, you don't build railings before the structural staircase. Generally, you build the structure, add the treads, risers, railings and pickets followed by final finishings, trim, paint, stain etc. This is step one!
MERRY CHRISTMAS from NC!!!! For sure a lot of work, but WOW how great are they gonna look when finished? You guys continue to amaze me.
The stairs are amazing, and will be even more so once complete. You two make a great team. Merry Christmas.
YAY!!! YOU HAVE STAIRS! No more ladder to reach the top floor! They look awesome! Love the idea! Merry Christmas you two!
Also, I know you are planning on some exciting treads, but are you thinking about risers? Andrew Camarata is beefing up his 4 story circular staircase with see thru risers because he has a child in his Container Castle.
I love how your staircase is turning out! I like that you do quality work and are so precise.

Beautiful, stairs can't wait to see the final product, you should very, very proud of your progress.
What an amazing idea and job you guys have done on your Beautiful home.

I'm here for the thumbnail
Same and no one's complaining

With the damp air and immediate rusting going on, I really think you guys should consider trying out weld-through-primer.
Adding the handle will reduce the deflection even more, as it will spread the load across the other treads. Keep up the good work. Have a happy and safe festive break. 🎄
Hola desde España. Me encanta vuestro trabajo y las escaleras son impresionantes, seguro que las copio en mi futura casa de piedra en España
Keep it up! You 2 r doing great. 10 times more then most DIYers.

Great work !! happy holidays!!
You should try a steel cutting blade for your chop saw cleaner cut and no sparks, keep up the good work!
BRAVO and CONGRATULATIONS on the floating stairs and the landing! I sure admire the level of detail you guys put into doing things as best as possible! Too bad you coulddn't get rectangular tubing completely behind the C-channel stringer so both top and bottom could be welded to the same tubing. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I think Peanut seems perfectly content to be carried up and down the stairs 🐶
glass balustrade connecting the treads together also acts as handrail … we had a party yesterday plenty of people on the stairs at the same time with no feeling of give or deflection
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘, happy holidays ❤️
A railing on the wall side would be perfect. You'd gravitate towards walking up/down closer to the wall, no need for a railing on the floating edge side. Looks awesome!
The stairs are awesome.
Were you a model at one time. You look fabulous on the landing in front of the window.
Both of you do awesome work together and are a great team.
Merry Christmas to you both. 🎄🎄🎄🎄👍🙌👏🙏
I'd love it if you had another giveaway!! Love you guys! Watch every one!!!!!!
Are those laser levels any different to normal laser levels such as my Dewalt ones?
Huge progress. Congrats team 😊

Are you guys planning a protection of railings ?
Hope you like you're stairs. Me I'm old and not as balanced as I was at you're age.Merry Christmas hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Looking good.
Do you think that you might possibly finish building your house in the next 1 - 3 years ? How long have you been working on it so far ? One thing for sure is if there's ever a Typhoon , with all that steel Welded together , it will never blow down ! ✌ out from Eastern Canada to the Western USA . Happy Trails.
How have I never noticed the steps going down below these stairs?
Nice camera work 👌
How many building codes do those stairs violate. I would not be shocked to hear someone got hurt on those.
why not use a steel plate for the landing. As for the stairs you can stiffin them even more by adding a plate at the end cloestes to the wall, this should move the flex point further out from the wall. You have put renforements on the outside of the C channel you should have put enforcement on the inside of the treds, is what I am meaning.
Great work👍🏻
Merry Christmas
Beautiful!
Maybe the stairs will have a floating handrail for that extra support ?
So, when is Vailliant doing one of those cheeky thumbnails 🤔 ?
Asking for a friend 😉.
Great progress, btw guy's 👍.
Looks dope
It’s looking good a lot of work but it’s worth it

I'm guessing y'all didn't paint the backside before installing it
Comment allez-vous faire quand il s'agira de monter les meubles il y aura bien plus de torsion
Why make the stringer so rigid, if it is the steps that flex?🤔
I was coming in to say almost the same thing 😂
Very nice. Are you a Comercial welder by trade?

Please put a railing!!
My question is why u did not use wood been done a long time ago just saying
i do like the stair, but the bumping head going to be epic
Tread depth has to be 10 inches to meet code
Top ❤
That is called DEFLECTION
Can the dog use them??? 🇬🇧👍
❤
your doing a lot of stuff for a shipping container , why?
👍👏😊
Woooooooow
👍👍👍😊
Feels uncomfortable when coming down the stairs then going up
Had the string been correctly stiffened to prevent twisting before installation there would have been no necessity for props and besides which the number of props are excessive. Careful design and fabrication drawings would have prevented the excessive waste of time and materials and from that aspect the installation is disappointing.
Gorgeous eyes !

Muhtemelen bu merdiven ile tır taşıyacaksınız ?!Kaç bölümdür ruhumu sıktı..Bitirin artık !
Looks like a realy uncomfortable stair, steps a not deep enough.
I think they are to narrow
:)
Worst ideea ever ! Stairs without railings is just an accident waiting to happen !
ur dumb, they've said multiple times there will be railings
She said they are going to add some.
@@craigshrimpton5765 Someting on top, because they are too smal to step on them. At least that was my understanding.
Thats the easiest part to do...
