The way you navigate through the wilderness is impressive

If your wooden posts are in contact with ground, then the concrete does nothing except holding the post laterally. Something that simple compacted crushed stone can do perfectly. You better pour some concrete in the hole, let it cure. Then do all the rest. The concrete pad at the bottom will act as a spread footing (spreading the loads of the post on a bigger surface). And the ultimate setup is with no wood buried. So full concrete base (like in a sonotube) then you anchor the wooden post on it.

Looks great man!

Cool project. I bet it would cost about 1500 nowadays

Great video. Very useful

Thank this the perfect video I need for my hill

🍅🍅🍅Look wonderful! 🌶🫑🌶

I like your method but do you have a model to show how to have a platform in the middle of the stairway and then more stairs going down?

Checking in 3y later were you able to keep animals out? Do you have any updates on pros and cons?

Question... why did you only use pressure treated wood on the treads and posts?

Please seal that particle board. Giving me the heebi-geebies

Best video for enclosed veggie garden but small rodents will go through chicken to eat your veggies, I suggest ½ inch 19 gauge mesh wire.

Retired elementary school teacher here. It was absolutely heartwarming watching you work together and treating that child with such love. He will grow into a better man because of it.

This is a GOOD dad. Reminds me of working with my own dad back in the 50s & 60s. Still miss him.

Great video and nice job on the stairs. I’m just wondering however why you didn’t use pressure treated wood other than for your posts?

Awesome! I am going to recruit my granddaughter to help! Nice job men!!!!❤

this has helped me so much! Building this weekend

Looks great. That is a lot of work 😢

This video is amazing. Thank you so much, I'm halfway through this project at home in Cairns, Australia. Tomorrow cutting the stringers. Appreciate you and your son for helping me!

Really great video! Thanks so much for posting. We have a hillside garden here in the UK and need a few sets of steps. This has inspired me to get on with it. You helper is the best! He's such a great help and so lucky to have you showing him the ropes, along with a practical education too. Great team work 👍 Where in north Idaho are you based? We have friends in Sandpoint that we have visited a few times.

Good job

Great video with you and your son!!

Not sure where to draw the initial line. I only saw you do it once at 2:15 ish at the bottom step, but then at 3:12 it looks like it’s from the top step?? Is the line drawn initially along the posts???

I'm aiming to do a project just like this in my back yard next to our terraced garden. You answered all of my questions. Thanks!

Exactly the idea I needed, great job, love that your teaching and spending time with your son

Does the ground not freeze in North Idaho? Won't the frost heave push those posts out concrete and all?

What zone are you in? Im considering this method in zone 5. But im planning to winter them on the ground in straw for insulation.

Love family projects like this! I won’t keep doing it by myself from now on, definitely deprives the kids from a learning experience.

Looks great 💯 😃!!!!!

You are gonna need a mini split. I went through a similar situation. I thought an electric heater would be enough for my 24x36 pole barn. I had spray foam insulation like yours. I ended up buying Mr.Cool DIY mini split rated for the square footage of my shop and it heats it up in about 20 min easy. The electric bill hardly went up as well.

You have a great son there to help you out while you teach him valuable life skills. My son's would be moping around waiting to get back to their computer games : (

I plan on doing exactly this. Not as long thank God. Couple things I noticed. Use self tapping exterior torx screws. Will save you the drilling. The other thing was that sheared off screw. I would have taken that out with vice grips and reused the hole. Great job, saving this for my job!

I was surprised to see you used only 2 stringers, I believe 3 are required for 36" stairs.

Cutest kid ever!!!!!!!

This is so cool

Hi :)

Loved watching this project. You've got an great carpenter helping out!

Wow, I really enjoyed your video! A blessing for her and truly a blessing for you guys as well. Keep up the fantastic work!

KFC 🍟➕🍔➕🍗for the win

I used to by my dads helper and miss every second of it. I’m here now watching this because he’s gone, thank you.

that first breaker you showed would have given you 0 volts since both poles are on the same 120v phase

I don’t think those screws you have into the posts will be strong enough over time

Thanks!

Love everything about the work you and your son did together. Keep the videos coming

I love the relationship you have with your son. I wish I had someone like you around when I was a kid. Trust me, it means the world to him especially when he grows to become a man. Also, love the project.

I love ths

Wow this is so good

Love this... your son is amazing.... your theory is in check😊
