Omg, you are awesome, Love your work cant speak " for the haters with ignorance on comments " for music the main focus is the work !! You know your stuff..
I want to add a staircase to my house to access the attic, it will be in the middle of the house right beside the center load bearing wall. I’m wondering how I should frame the other side of the staircase. I know I will need to cut through about five ceiling joists and sister the remaining joist into a header and make boxing but I’m wondering how the framing under the unsupported side of the box needs to be designed.
Thank you, this is great. Greetings from Ethiopia. I am here while looking for videos and other info on whether we can relocate our concrete stair case (common in Africa) to a different direction. A design error resulted in the foyer area stairs blocking the entrance door. The door we are now trying to buy needs to be specially designed and visually it is not attractive. It lost the concept of an open foyer area. We are disappointed how we missed it before it was constructed and feel helpless now. It will affect the value of the house. Please let us know if there is a way to change it now?is it structurally possible? any advice or even a place where we can find a way of "treating" such with decoration will be helpful. Many thanks.
Great video man! There's a home we're looking at that has stairs in a very awkward place and we're wanting to do something just like this. How long did it take you to do this?
What was your approach with removing the joists for the new stair opening? I am considering doing this as well but putting the new opening so close to the existing stairs made me nervous about the structural integrity.
Main thing is to figure out if those joists are bearing, meaning if they hold any weight other then the subfloor. If so, you have to resupport that section or a wall prior to removing any joists, by adding a support beam or a post. For example: in this video I had to add a support post using 3 2x8s (time 5:05) before cutting out the main support beam (time 6:58). I hope this helps. Let me know how the project turns out. Before and after pictures are always fun.
Hi Victoria, thank you. Columbus is actually an hour from me so it is definitely doable. You can contact me at d2ddiy@gmail.com and I will send you my construction company's information.
Hi Dylan, I have a video coming on moving the furnace. In regards to removing a chimney it is as simple as taking a sledge hammer to it, one brick at a time. It is a great way to using the square footage of your house to its full potential.
@@day2daydiy124 Awesome! Looking forward to the furnace video! And thank you for the reply. Digging out a basement by yourself is another good one. If there is a way to redo the foundation without having to block in towards the center of the room. That would save space too.
@@dylankadow8428 That would be a fun project, to save space I would use a metal i-beam for enough support to get away from having too many posts or having to block a wall.
@@day2daydiy124 for anybody that is inexperienced but wanting to remove a chimney on their own home it is not quite as simple as just taking a sledgehammer to it. Please work from the top down otherwise you are at risk of a serious collapse and if you are just trying to remove the chimney in a room but leave the rest of it in above then get a professional. This might sound love a stupid thing for me to say but I have seen some ridiculously dangerous things don't by some people who should have known better. 👍😀
I really want to do this in my house and I feel comfortable with all of the physical labor, but correctly re-desiging the structure terrifies me. Any recommendations on how to learn to do that correctly? Or is it possible to hire a structural engineer just for the design piece?
Day 2 Day DIY 😆 I am hardly a professional. I think you have a good topic, style of shooting and editing! Keep it up and pace yourself, post once a week! Not more often not less frequent! And you are on your way!
I want to do this at my home it’s small and the stairs in the the middle of living room to the second floor. Do you have any tips on how I should start?
Hey! Thanks for sharing! question: did you took this decision because you guys were on a budget or just because the stair case was still in good shape? I'm asking because we are thinking on doing the same with our new place; the staircase is still in good shape. However, every carpenter we talk to always says that it doesn't worth it and that it is better to start from scratch. I feel it is just to make more money out of the job (which I understand on their part)
Hi Julie-Anne! Our staircase is in good condition, and it doesn't make sense to build a new staircase when it can just be disconnected and moved to the desired location. Good luck with your project.
@@day2daydiy124 Thanks for the sharing. I don't understand why did you have to cut the main support beam, it looks it does not obstruct anything to me.
@@JingHu-ts1pd It was too close to the staircase, meaning when you re on the last step going down that beam was too low and was definitely a hazard especially for taller people. So by moving the main 2x10 beam forward 10in gave me 6 extra inches of head clearance. I did support the edge with a 2x4 beam, which should be plenty since a hand rail will go on top of that and won't carry much weight. I hope it makes sense, Thank you for commenting.
Wow the front of the house looks amazing !! Dream home ❤️
Thanks Yulia!
You make it look so easy. Very informative and fascinating
Thanks Tina ))
Well done!!! Very informative!! You make it look easy! Thank you for sharing your gifts!!! Please keep making videos!
6:58 Why did you cut that joist out it looks like you added framing in the same place afterwards to support the subfloor?
very well done.. great work BTW
Thank you Micki!

Awesome stuff! Looking forward to future videos!
Thanks Mateo

i was interested in how you finished it off... any videos>?? ( railing, wall? )
Not yet, but it is on its way.
WOW! So AweSome! Please come over & relocate mine. Help ! Columbus Ohio

Can you do a video on removing a chimney and another one on moving the furnace in the basement to the corner?

@@day2daydiy124 Amazing job!!
We have about 4 stairs that need to be moved to the side of were they're located now. Would we need to do this same process?
Can a small bedroom in the middle of house be turned into a stairway leading to second level renovation
Absolutely!
I really want to do this in my house and I feel comfortable with all of the physical labor, but correctly re-desiging the structure terrifies me. Any recommendations on how to learn to do that correctly? Or is it possible to hire a structural engineer just for the design piece?
Hi James, I would recommending contacting an engineer.
Dude!!! About time you start filming it 😉 good work! How does the editing for you?
Thanks Vladimir, I'm actually having a good time editing these videos.
Day 2 Day DIY nice! Good work! Let me know if you need any help 😉
Thank you )) criticism would definitely be appreciated, especially from a professional point of view.

2:30 Did you squish the bug? lol
Lol good eye! If I didn't get him we have a cat so bugs don't have a long lifespan here.
Did you get a permit for thus? I'm thinking about buying a 1960 ranch house but the staircase is in the middle of the home.

Watching the video, a person can really tell your attention to detail. Please, please help me with my dilemna...
Thank you Alonzo, what is your dilemma?
How does music teach you how to do this
how long did this project take you?
Hi Paige, it took about 16 hours total
Bratva?
100%
Just about had a heart attack when you climbed the stairs before attaching them and they started to shift!
lol me too
i was like NOOOO DONT DO IT!

"Cutting the main support beam" You don't read that everyday.
It was definitely the fun part, as long as everything is supported properly.

Man I wish that there was better music to choose from..... Im so over hearing this stupid tune every other video
haha for sure, this was one of my first videos so I was very limited to the music options.
