With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I've talked many clients into aluminum/steel roofing for their garage ceilings and were all overally impressed once done. They first looked bewildered at first mentioning it. Great job man.
My spirit twin. I’ve been in “IT” since before I graduated HS, building PCs in a friend’s repair shop. I have my masters in CS, but would much rather be doing what you’re doing. I love your videos and am living vicariously through you 😊
Been in computer related work (3d animation, editing, etc.) most of my life (I'm 50) and really wish I had gone into some kind of trade. Computer work is really unfulfilling when you look back at what you've done over your life. Yeah, I've done stuff for TV and movies. Big deal. I'm looking to buy a fixer upper in the near future to save money and because I love this kind of work.
The advice you give from 12:30 to 12:50 applies to most things in life that I have encountered as well. The majority of the time it’s only over thinking the situation.
Anyone else give Kyle's videos a "thumbs up" three seconds into the video because you know it is going to be good? Keep up the great work Kyle and Greg! The attention to detail is fantastic!
That's one beautiful set of stairs the craftman that got them stairs out did a beautiful job have you done a beautiful job installing them I worked in a metal fab shop for five years and built stairs and hand railings I know what it takes 👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@razztacular yes i noticed they are 3/4" thicker...won't make up for what it is lacking. I bet it drops at least a 1/4" with a 200lb person in the middle. Explain how a thicker tread helps the vertical strength. I'm curious.
Kyle ; Your talents remind me of the old school carpenters! You not only understand the all the fine points of building and framing you can do quality finish work! I use the drill brake option on PH’s. Like 17/18 on my drill & the clutch kicks out so I don’t overdrill. Those stairs are really nice ! And great clean work! Hv you ever considered a domino? Faster and solid joinery with no visible fasteners ! Little pricey cause you need both! Use them for stairs and u will be doing more stairs! For guys like us they make us look like Gary Katz! Really, really enjoy your channel & nice little family u hv ! God Bless!
I remember my bro in law had a spiral staircase installed in a new house they had built, and when the drilled into the floor to fasten the spinal column, the drilled right through the radiant floor heat tubing.
Hahaha, I like the way you explained the method to your madness. Between a happy balance of visual satisfaction and getting all the repetitive tasks out of the way. I'm the same way!
I just did a staircase using black metal stringers, with custom treads, finish stained from a wood shop. Stringers had holes drilled underneath for bolt mounting. Black bolts to match the metal. Looked pretty awesome going up the 3 flights of stairs.
Very under estimated life lesson starting at 12:30. Don’t think so much about all the hardships and hurdles a task will bring. Just start at step 1 and and move to step 2 once 1 is done. Next thing you know. You’re done and the feeling that you get of self accomplishment will be your reward! Few things more gratifying that stepping back and saying. Yeah I built that. And it looks really f**king good!
Great kreg tips. Only thing I would add is not to use an impact with the drill bits either. I’ve found that if you let it hammer then the depth stopper will walk and cause you grief.
Cross grain gluing i would have glued half across the treads just to try and eliminate some of the treads from splitting over time it would have been better if the treads had been laminated together but who knows with timber ive tried many things over the years and if timber wants to move it will only time will tell greg is such a perfectionist I'm sure he will sort it
@@davidbray6515 I don't know about that. Mine are the same and about 13 years old and they haven't cracked or split. You have to use completely dried lumber to make these !
Gracias por compartir su experiencia amigo, he aprendido mucho, es usted un profesional, felicidades y Dios le bendiga. Saludos desde Monterrey, México
Nice work as always! Only suggestion would have been to add some super thin felt between the tread and walls for possible squeaks. The wood is pretty burly so hopefully you won't have that problem. But just in case.. Enjoy!
I would have put a 3/8 gap between tread and wall to mitigate the dissimilar gaps. When i do treads i do top and bottom first, run a string line so even from a distance tread ends line up perfectly. But i have a problem . Noticed glue on top of top tread, that'll need a sanding
Looks awesome! Smart thinking worrying about the expansion of standard subfloor foam. Expansion and contraction are something i need to worry about more. Also love the “Thats a lesson” attitude
You may find over time that the stair treads will squeak on the wall and knock into it as you go up and down, a quarter inch offset would be good, or a couple of angle brackets around the mid way mark to tie in
Stairs look amazing and craftsmanship is top notch! Only concern I would have is that the treads appear to be right up against the wall. No matter how thick they are, I assume they will squeak when they flex.
The gap is not only needed to prevent squeaks but to prevent build up of crud that is hard to clean (but then again, maybe the crud will stop the squeaks.)
Awesome looking - if it were mine, I would have used wooden dowels on each tread, glue them in and knock the tread down. I expect if anyone cares, you can fill the Kreg pocket holes in with plugs.
I would have thought a small space between tread and wall would be better, the stairs are bound to move a little and scrape against the wall making them creak.
That's what I picked up on too. We use a 1/4 inch gap in those situations to avoid the squeak. The Craig Jig shocked me as well. Those things never plug like they show on T.V.
i hope that is conditioned space and you let those treads acclimate to the space, you will get some expansion and contraction on those treads being so close to that T&G wall. Jeffro
I think you could have drilled dowels through the top and sanded them flush with a darker wood. If you didn't like the look of that you could put a dowel in the stringer sticking up 1-1/2" then put wood glue on the top of the dowel set the tread on the dowels. The glue will mark where to drill the holes in the tread.
I have made the mistake of running my Kreg screws with an impact one too many times...I only run it with my drill/driver now and usually I adjust the clutch setting just to be safe
Looking at the wall side stringer at 9:18 I see a crack that runs the full length of a tread support. Don't you think it would be a good idea to inject some glue into that crack?
It's a drying check - often barely deeper than surface and nothing to worry about.. that said I just filled all of them, on a heavy stair I'm building, with epoxy, more for appearances sake though..
@@RRBuildings Oh ok, I Didn't realize the radiant heat was there too.. Hopefully that garage door is a higher R value and wind tight to keep the envelope.
So...how are you dealing with the construction adhesive on the top tread? Letting it harden and then sand it smooth? Just curious on that one. Also, are you spaced away from the wall or are you tight against the wall? In many applications I've seen people use a playing card or the like to give a slight air gap between the wall...the wall will move, the stairs will move. There is the potential of bumping against the wall with the stair case, I've even seen one person put in a "bumper" pad between the stairs and the wall so that when the inevitable happened, the "bang" would be a "thud" instead. LOL
I think I would have glued the tread to the wall. That is going to squeak as it moves. But I really like it. I looks fantastic. I see other folks said leave a small crack. But I don’t think I would like that
You're not concerned about a slight movement of the tread against the sidewall causing a squeak? I guess I'd have left a small gap or put something on the end of the tread to prevent squeaking.
I remember helping my grandfather cut and attach points(triangular shapes) to stringers by toenailing them in place. Used scraps from the framing material. Surprisingly they held up pretty good. What are the size of the stringers and treads. Look expensive.
Not gon lie... in the thumbnail for the vid, I seriously thought it was Canelo Alvarez and was like: whaaat?!? I’m this dude is a millionaire boxer and woodworks?!?! Lol... nevertheless... I just subscribed haha

To many people are obsessed with 1 battery platform. It's good to see someone using different brands based off what feels good
Ahhh the therapeutic sounds of tools even after a long day of working with them. Great vid!
Great Kreg Jig tip on using the drill driver vs. impact when setting the screws...thanks for sharing and another lesson learned from RR!!
Those stairs are so simple that it looks amazing in there. Keep up the good job
You always have that job/task that hindsight is 20/20. You always see ways after the fact to improve the process or get faster/cleaner results.
That looks amazing only thing I would of done different would be a small gap between the wall and trade to avoid squeaking
Yup, just a 16th.
2 stringers no risers and all that weight from those treads... you know its going to be bouncy.
@@deeeeeeps You do realize those stringers are oversized aswell as the treads. I doubt there will be much movement at all.

I’d love to get a domino
I remember my bro in law had a spiral staircase installed in a new house they had built, and when the drilled into the floor to fasten the spinal column, the drilled right through the radiant floor heat tubing.
Always makes me nervous to see them drill into a radiant floor. I know Kyle was careful about his depth.
Dang
I'm sure he had the lay out plan for the pipes!!
If you turn the heat on, you can use a thermal camera to see where the pipes are.
Hahaha, I like the way you explained the method to your madness. Between a happy balance of visual satisfaction and getting all the repetitive tasks out of the way. I'm the same way!
Looks good guy,glad to see there are still young people working the trades.!

That really seemed like a very demanding and technical installation. Well done.
Sometimes I question if I’m more excited for the builds or the tools! 😂
Love the channel, keep the videos coming!!
Yeah me too! Kyle has all the awesome tools!
I like the Kreg screws and have used them quite a bib. To repair my pole building, after tree damage, I used the Kreg HD system.
Our supplier sends us Mitek stuff. I was a Simpson strong tie faithful and was skeptical but I love the Mitek hardware. Beautiful steps brother!
Looking sweet just wondering why you haven't left a hairs gap from the tread to the wall for movement and squeaks just a thought greg
Ya even 1/8th or 1/4 would have worked. Different seasons have different humidity !
Yup that would be my concern aswell. The staircase looks awesome but it will move when you walk on it and the treads will rub the wall
Cross grain gluing i would have glued half across the treads just to try and eliminate some of the treads from splitting over time it would have been better if the treads had been laminated together but who knows with timber ive tried many things over the years and if timber wants to move it will only time will tell greg is such a perfectionist I'm sure he will sort it

Good job as always guys. The stairs was fun to watch you figuring it out.

It turned out very nice!! Job well done as usual.
Appreciate the Kreg Jig impact driver tip.

Yes of course glue will be sanded off
Beautifully done. As usual.
Stairs looks great, keep up on the videos all are really good material
Looks awesome! Smart thinking worrying about the expansion of standard subfloor foam. Expansion and contraction are something i need to worry about more. Also love the “Thats a lesson” attitude
I think those stairs turned out sweet! The rail supports are a bit chunky to my eye, but it's part of the look.
Ive just redone my staircase using oak sleepers, with an open riser construction love how the look so much nicer having them open imo
Love it Kyle! Keep up the perfection!
Those stairs are badass.
You may find over time that the stair treads will squeak on the wall and knock into it as you go up and down, a quarter inch offset would be good, or a couple of angle brackets around the mid way mark to tie in
Thanks for pointing out things you'd improve next time. Nice job.
Just bought some ISOtunes really love them thanks for the info. on them!!
Awesome
Gugeefueeugee
Superior job like always... 🍻
Awesome job! Love that look!
I agree with James, I would have put a gap between the wall and tread so 'down the road' there are no squeaks.
This is a good one for the people triggered by pocket holes! 😀 i bet if you plugged the holes on the outside stringer nobody would ever even notice.
Stairs look amazing and craftsmanship is top notch! Only concern I would have is that the treads appear to be right up against the wall. No matter how thick they are, I assume they will squeak when they flex.
Nice good job RR and Greg
Keg makes half dowel sections if you want to glue them into the pocket holes for a seamless look, great work!
Started from facebook, then tiktok and here i am on youtube watching RR Buildings
Beautiful stairs by the way. I would go for wooden walls in MY garage to be honest... To hang stuff... Well done guys! 👍😁
That job is taking a long time!
Awesome man great looking stairs
The gap is not only needed to prevent squeaks but to prevent build up of crud that is hard to clean (but then again, maybe the crud will stop the squeaks.)
Love those massive treads.
beautiful staircase
great job guys .. fantastic
Looking amazing boys
@11:00 when you had to tell people how to drive a screw 😂 so many pro's strip the thread connection they just made.
Could have doweled the treads to the stringers.
Nice job. Good tips bro!
I was totally looking at that tread you had to go back and fix lol looks 👍
Awesome looking - if it were mine, I would have used wooden dowels on each tread, glue them in and knock the tread down. I expect if anyone cares, you can fill the Kreg pocket holes in with plugs.
Looking great, definitely not lumber yard wood for the stairs. Great attention to detail!
Nice stairs and garage
Thats a bad ass stair case
I would have thought a small space between tread and wall would be better, the stairs are bound to move a little and scrape against the wall making them creak.

i hope that is conditioned space and you let those treads acclimate to the space, you will get some expansion and contraction on those treads being so close to that T&G wall.
Jeffro
Any complaints from client about squeking when walking the stairs? (Should have left at least 1/16" opening between steps and wall)
No squeaks
Was there in floor heating to avoid where the stairs landed? But I am sure you planned for that.
Looks like he used short screws, so that would negate any line puncture issues..
Usually the tubing is on the bottom of the concrete. Should be 3-4" down or more.
Just a thought, when you put the newel post against the tread behind it. You could put two 1/2 or 3/4 dowels to stiffen the attachment.
Or use the kreg jig
@@robtrujillo8859 agreed, just thinking if he wanted as few visible attachments
So you're the guy I'll hire to build my cabin in the woods. Start learning how to work with beams cause that's what mine is gonna be
Bill mm
Yup i I
I like those steps.
I think you could have drilled dowels through the top and sanded them flush with a darker wood. If you didn't like the look of that you could put a dowel in the stringer sticking up 1-1/2" then put wood glue on the top of the dowel set the tread on the dowels. The glue will mark where to drill the holes in the tread.
I'll buy that
What are the marks on the top tread? Looks like glue.
I was wondering if he put it upside down and than had to change it.
Believe the top tread was meant for only the top and he accidentally started mounting it lower down.
No I mounted the one wrong... pulled it off and let the glue dry to sand later and used it on the too
@@RRBuildings thank you.
@@RRBuildings You're kidding me made it through 2020 without being wrong once and here I'm already wrong in 2021.
11:36 sounds like a good time!
I have made the mistake of running my Kreg screws with an impact one too many times...I only run it with my drill/driver now and usually I adjust the clutch setting just to be safe

It's a drying check - often barely deeper than surface and nothing to worry about.. that said I just filled all of them, on a heavy stair I'm building, with epoxy, more for appearances sake though..
That's one manly set of stairs.
Is there a reason the garage ceiling didn't get insulated?
It’s all heated the same the and radiant heat goes up
@@RRBuildings Oh ok, I Didn't realize the radiant heat was there too.. Hopefully that garage door is a higher R value and wind tight to keep the envelope.
I see you finally wisened up and wore some knee pads Kyle. The building looks awesome!
How's he gonna get that dried loctite glue off the top tread, sand it?
I scraped it off you are seeing discoloration and it sands off
RR sunday, my church lol
Yes the only church that when offering plate is passed around, you give screws, tools or lumber vs cash.
Haha
So...how are you dealing with the construction adhesive on the top tread? Letting it harden and then sand it smooth? Just curious on that one.

yep, let it harden, scrape and sand it off...only way to do it.
This is something I was concerned about
What make/brand step drills were you using @ 3:00 ??
I think I would have glued the tread to the wall. That is going to squeak as it moves. But I really like it. I looks fantastic. I see other folks said leave a small crack. But I don’t think I would like that
Me either
You're not concerned about a slight movement of the tread against the sidewall causing a squeak? I guess I'd have left a small gap or put something on the end of the tread to prevent squeaking.
If you worried about the Kreg holes then you can get Kreg pine plugs which will conceal the hole.

Turned out flipping Great! No hand rail on the paneled wall right?
Nope
Great video 👍
A goo tick to guarantee no squeaking is to take a candle stick and wax all end grains touching either the mop boards or in your case, the wall
