HELLO EVERYBODY!
This week at the Silver Fox's house I did a bunch of back framing. I had to change some things, add somethings, really just make it work. After the trades are in including plumbers, heating and cooling, electrical, they cut framing apart to get their material in the walls and ceilings. I go behind them and frame everything better then it was before, oh ya I do. This work is not that exciting for pictures. But I did enjoy it.
At the end of the week I built the indoor upper floor stairs. The stairs are 7 5/8" Rise and 10" Run. About 38 degrees and 7 steps. Here is a quick photoshoot so you can see how that is done. Everything (except the treads) was also bonded with PL Premium adhesive and 3 1/4" Galvanized nails and Various Deck Screws.
These are the Old Temporary Stairs. Demo Time.
No stairs. Just like Magic.
New LVL Stringers (beasts) On the wall side, there is 3/4" piece of plywood attached to stringer for drywall to land on.
Reinforced the middle with 2x4 L's. Also a wall under one side for drywall.
You see that Level on the Floor, be sure to keep it close by.Underneath backing support for drywall. Planes out to bottom of lower LVL, this was an adventure but worked out perfectly.
New Temporary Treads. The actual treads will be with 3 1/8th " thick Glue Lams. Big ones.
Next Set Going In. We attached the stringer to the studs with 5" GRK's.
Reinforced stringers with 2x4 L's.
- Backing for drywall under steps.
- New Temp Treads, these were not glued on, everything else was.
- Finished and Added a Hand Rail for safety.
Well that's it folks hope you enjoyed the process. If you have any questions please do let me know in the comment section. Also if you know better ways of doing any of what I show on THE BUILD definitely tell me! That would be awesome!
Here's a gem I saw today hiking with my little man Omni, a little bit of Kimberley Nature Park Magic!

I could have really used you to do our stairs here when we needed to get them done but we managed great article.
Ya, stairs are not the easiest to do thats for sure. Lots of math! Also some know how helps :) my boss is pretty good. We figured these out together but I cut and installed them. We are putting 3 1/8" thick glue lams on after drywall. Gonna be so nice. I am gonna do another update on this job soon!!! I have like 3 good posts ready. Just need some time! Hehehe, building all the time and life makes little time to steemit!

Sweet man for sure will check it out. I figure just keep on posting awesome work and people will pick up on it. My specialty is exterior metal but I do all sorts of stuff within construction now. And why not share it. My blogs on The Airstream Build are old as of last year but I am not done it yet. Otherwise I will only be posting new Builds. Everything is up and coming on steemit
