" And let's open -- door to see what we got in here this is and our staircase. -- part of it and you know you've got an interesting -- that you've built in terms of business this you just started this port city staircase business in order to kind of address the higher. Into the market that's correct but -- on my cue from the national sister company that was really. More geared toward mass production. And how do you price a job right off the blueprints for Prosser of blueprints we actually field measure every staircase yeah I'd be awful to show for the job and of the staircase -- that it. So here we've got what that's for another job I'll bet right yes sir and this would be ours and and we're talking is this temporary. Of these are backing troops back -- look at this Biloxi OK what we'll look at it closely in place going to help you bring it sure. Okay take -- about how are doing right. So. This is an exciting moment you don't have to build it on site. Thankfully and I suppose you've ordered these before in the past right well this is the first on the we've done so what are the components that we're looking at here we just looked at this a minute -- on these here to receive the plasterboard right that's correct."

" And on the bottom of the staircase and -- we use three quarter birch plywood for the risers. And screwed to the back of this weakling or upon and the heart of -- courses the trend that's correct and how's everything past. We'll soul fastened together with screws you can see here who walks yeah -- world -- led joint. If you look at the very bottom of the staircase we use a computer numeric controlled rover to well else. The the wall side of the staircase that we're looking at the skirt board here that's correct. If you see this on a double wheel drive wedges in it to with a from squeaking so that's the best way to keep the squeaks from ever occurring -- it."

" Aren't we you've got to take out the of the temporary -- what's -- been doing this builder's perspective. From my front of them. We don't want to to a three week we've got the stairs on site and -- we get port city to come in. -- the stairs for us to bring us the stairway and included in the put tread covers on it to protect it during construction. And -- in and out and about or we've done so these are policies this there's a cost savings there's a big time savings and the last time and money okay. And now what we have here. It is temporary is that will go out of the way and isn't -- kind of waste of money involved in him. I'm just having these temporary stairs disappear while it. During construction it's always better to have stairs to move material up and down but we'll take these out -- we'll take into the back immutable it's it's there's a couple of times great."

" Okay -- that looks nice now how do we install it. And he's going to do is attach the problems finishing Middleton than we shim it. Won't walls slide it was Iraq's little while she brought dislike -- ones -- OK so over here. And I'd be putting in a clock. Yes parts tools."

" That SC one but still have enough of the pocket. Slip the drywall right into place right that's right the trim stage we'll cap that joint piece -- the planning. All right now we're ready to remove the temporary second half than. Complete the job."

" I love the profile. Instant staircase. To escort. -- when I left the material. Gotta take off the protective covers to -- the top of the tread here. It's so handsome it's reclaimed lumber beautiful reclaimed her on now I've got the spindle samples here. And one's already been chosen but you've got quite a few options here don't you -- wouldn't Bob. -- news on this job is wood floor Wilmington profile handrail in Honduras mahogany yeah. And then which is the -- itself misinterpret -- Africa this. And that will look very handsome."

Mahogany Deck and Railings

The Mahogany railings for the elevated rear deck are being constructed, and Bob meets with Kevin Parquette who is doing the final assembly work. The deck features ample room for entertaining and is surrounded by a a simple, easy-to-construct railing. The railing is assembled from readily-available materials, and features decorative rail caps for a finished look. Parquette is using 8-penny stainless steel nails to assemble the railings. The nails are pre-coated with glue. When driven into the wood, the heat generated by the friction of the nail passing through the wood activates the glue, creating a strong and secure fastening system. Layout for the railing is done on the surface of the deck. The vertical balusters are sandwiched between two horizontal rails along the bottom, with a store-bought top rail securing the assembly. Once assembled, the railing sections are simply secured between the four-by-four-inch posts.

Installing Cedar Deck Railings

Tim Berky is building the cedar deck railings, first by notching the edge board to receive the posts. Each post sits flush with the trim once it is fitted into the notch. Berky attaches the post to the facing board by driving deck screws into predrilled holes in the post to avoid splitting the wood. He then builds the railing sections using cedar rails and stiles. Once assembled, he attaches the entire section to the deck posts by driving screws through the top and bottom rails.

Composite Deck Railing Installation

In this segment Bob watches the crew install the railing on the deck. The composite railing product comes pre-milled to accept all the railing components. As with wood decks, building codes calls for a post every six feet between the railings. The posts are pre-hollowed for wiring if the homeowner decides to light the deck with post-mounted lamps. The balustrades and railings are cut to length on site. Stainless steel screws are used to assemble the pieces. The use of stainless fasteners is an added cost, but longevity of the deck material means that uncoated fasteners would rust long before the deck might need replacing.

Safety Railing Installation

Ironworker Jimmy Canka secures the rooftop deck's safety railing to its footings. The individual sections of the simple picket-style iron railing are put in place on site, and then welded together. Canka uses an arc welder to fuse the sections together. Bob points out how the fence is secured to the roof employing three separate building trades, the roofers, ironworkers and masons. Behind the railing is a parapet wall, which is topped with bluestone to prevent moisture from seeping into the masonry work.
