" Over at this end. We have an opening that's a little bit hard to understand that there will be a wall here and a -- wall here so that in effect you have like a -- with a balcony looking down. At the staircase coming up. That's fine Ryley and -- talk about how we're building the staircase. All right so what do you get started here this is the the first and second platforms for the with a for the lawyers but tonight we're gonna stand in that misses the second. The second step on the on the platform I think -- help us understand we've got we don't have a straight run a staircase we -- down this floor with -- follow winder. And yeah that by creating a square platform and triangular form that goes on top it. -- ago now of these. Go in place right here that's right and you could -- had a straight runs. Going opera has moved on loading onto a dawn there yet and -- got that patio doors go out to the backyard and a half while an aside here so as a platform. Then there's a run it'll go up and hit another platform up top because about it and -- off to the right right immediately had this national. If this one out away. And then disbursement. What's the dimension businesses. But there any movement -- I. Why George half. And this simply goes temporarily to a strapping on the back to all right and then. -- and now he's heavily. And he got to shoot it into place into the stud wall from from underneath."
" OK that's a pretty neatly cut stringer now this. Slot to sort stringer looks like an easy thing to cut but the mystery is solid and getting the -- right in the dement in the math right that is your eyes very simple. If it's -- can be made simple if I don't try to explain it in that the first thing you want to try and determine. There's a total rise. The rises no higher ago how high going in this case we're going from one platform the next flat wrong okay let's say we had eighty inches from one they have a right we know that out rise never wants to be more than eight inches. Divide by eight. Of this we have ten rises OK now you'll ever want to have one all right that so Steve you're climbing up the stairs like that right is -- so that others -- We have can. We always have one more rising there isn't correct. So that tells us that we know we're gonna have nine treads ethic team and always have one more prized than you do Trent right at that has secured yes so now. We know that total Ryan is from one platform for the at a anesthetist if you're traveling at the bottom of the top that's right right now we'll divide that by nine. As we know we have nine that that's exactly what size they OK and outpaced their nine and five eighths minutes. All right so cut them and there's nine and rises in this case happened to seven and a half. We've done map on that the same way -- and that's that you pull the calculator out and you go to work. This that the bottom bracket that's -- I want we -- we get the bottom. I handed up to you you available over there. And this is one way of attacking. The stringer. -- to have -- back."
" When the space allows it to go off and just hang them with. One by three strapping. But here well we'll do is we'll strengthen that up with some plywood later he got that some yeah -- got that on the sides of can't. And then at the bottom of the platform and -- these. Executive."
" Voted twelve galvanized common nails yeah. OK well now what are you doing the riser here -- but right now we're gonna just have to temporary treads. I think about it you know going to let him in there but we get so we've just cut out plywood -- And this will be how the service stairs during the construction project right. You know. When we finish -- going to be used in the same material of the plausibly I'm kind. Yeah I think -- finished the threat with. We're talking framed to finish -- we're explain that concept last week that. What is the end the inside frame is the finished no plaster no trim all that we're got here. We're gonna take the same material that were using on the laws that beadboard pine this stuff yeah imported. On the wobbling right across here all the way up here through the railing -- uses a per capita in the top club and it closes cut it off and put a cap on right."
