- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- We are building outside stairs to the second floor of our garage, in this episode of our Couple Builds Dream Home series. We have a garage loft that will be turned into an apartment above the garage so we need stairs on the outside to get up there. The stairs are about 18 feet tall and have a 4x8 landing at the top.

NEW HERE?
Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here • Why we Choose to Live ...
Thank you for watching our video and reading the description. You rock!
Hope you have a really great day and keepsm:)ling!

Wow why are their thumbs down on here? These are good wholesome people that are just sharing happy moments as a family with all of us!! We could all learn alot from the Johnson Family!! Geez
You are very nice! Thanks!
FINALLY someone puts footings where they are needed.
Sick build !
Yes Martin your skills have really improved
It really is getting done Fast
Little trick for digging in the winter. Cover the area with a tarp a couple days earlier. I live in michigan. This never fails. The ground will thaw out under the tarp. It works in sub zero temps.
We live in the same place
Pak Martin & Bu Julie, I always admire your determination, persistence and the love you show to all of us. May God bless you always. Anyway, your craftmanship also very enjoyable to watch. Salam :)
Its all looking awesome
Thanks man. Really appreciate it.
Jules is always smiling and laughing must be a joy to live with her, Great job on the stairs need central support under the stringers, brave to go out and do the job in the snow, good job guys from UK.
Thank you! 😊
Your skill are improving and so is ur wife's.. Why look at all the hardwork you ur family has put in, sure its a long way from complete but ur inside u home its warm n cozy and u all are doing it at ur own pace.
Suggestion: Cover the head of the screw's with wood tube putty or wood filler..that way ur screws don't get rust on em.
Keep on smiling, stay safe n warm, God bless u.
Nice work brother! Your living place is so great, I really like that.
Your daughter has a lovely smile oh my God what comment or I could call it something else but my mother raised me better! Great job you two love the video keep on rocking!
That’s my wife, Jules.
Thank you.
The stairs look great yall! Nothing like French press coffee :) Cheers! M & K Segovia
Coffee! Ahhh! ☕️
I like the sponge treatment to the treads...neat idea
Thanks! It worked really well!
We used to tent the area to pour with plastic tarps and use a torpedo heater to set concrete in winter in Boise and Bend..works well if you run into problems with your cold temps.
Finally, I waited impatiently for this episode and I apologize for the previous comment. Thank you more brilliance, creativity and success
Surely...it's one of the great video of Pak Martin and Bu Julie.
You both always can makes me say : "Wow that's amazing true! Great job to y'all in North Idaho!"
Greets from Indonesia!
Good teamwork and a good job. Getting there. Keep smiling and stay safe. Singapore
They look great.
They're talented. I couldn't set concrete in 30 degree weather. God bless them....
this is a joke right, because the concrete won't actually set and they'll probably get injured or something from it?
WOW man just wow! you two are awesome builders. Loving the build.
Very nice build, by the time you're finished you'll be a journeyman carpenter. Thanks for sharing.
Not a chance!
I personally think that you should have another set of posts to support your stringers.
I believe that he said he was going to but the ground was frozen
I am glad you are putting in some more concrete posts to support it all. when finished you will probably get no rocking, swaying, or bouncing. good job, both of you.
put the big logs on the bottom and the small kindling on top it will burn longer and be more foregiving if you forget to come back and put more logs on because it will still be hot/burning. light the top and it will burn down, good luck
Installing windows is always a big game changer. It changes the looks but also helps get you weathered in. Nice job working together. If you’re not going to use a wood burner then a propane forced air. We have a fireplace in the basement that is propane with a small blower and it actually helps heat the whole house so the furnace doesn’t run nearly as much when it’s on.
How is the well doing?
Stay safe.
10” of snow here with a couple more on the way. I’m ready for spring 😊.

BLESS YOU JULIE!!!!
😂 thanks!
You guys are so capable, so smart, so self-reliant. AMAZING 👍❣️
It looks great. God Bless
The theme music is sensational
Toe kicks will help solidify the stairs. I enjoy your videos.
the best wife on TH-cam, cute, blonde hard working, with a great sense of humor ...
Keep up the great work..
You bet she is.
Awe! So nice. Thanks!
Great video thanks
Things are really looking awesome. Great team-work .👍👍💛🙏
Bless you
French press and wood burning stove! 2 things that are VERY important! Nice work folks! Happy New Year from Alabama!
woowww Good Job Pak Martin...
Great video! This was a great help. Adding a stairs to a separate garage at my house in South Carolina. Please protect your eyes.
Awesome 👏 😀👍
It’s starting to look amazing.. I can’t wait to see the final work of the home. I love the idea of putting the guest staircase from the outside..
...gettin' there, good job, stay safe...
Oh my gosh! You guys are so cool!
We go through the Sandpoint area quit a few times a year...love the area...keep up the good work!!!
GOOD
Nice work Jules! You are awesome.
Thank you!
Love the giant popsicle!!
Your daughter has a nice smile even when she was struggling with the carboard wrap on the cement post.
thats his wife
he looks much younger when shaved
Thank you!
👍👍👍 Very Nice Team Job. ❤️ from Israel.
Stairs looks good love the color stain. MARTIN it nice to have a beautiful face beside you helping Merry Christmas God Bless
Center stringer is only supported now by the landing upstairs and center support But nothing at the bottom probably need to run a board at the bottom between both cemented posts. I myself would have made a smaller cement wall uniformed to the stringers instead of cement posts that way all stringers are firmly secure at the base adding more stability to them. But, it's looking AWESOME looking forward to see how you will connect the upstairs to your existing home. God Bless Be Safe. Jim
Snow is a *really* good insulator. When people go winter camping, snow helps them keep from freezing! Also, if you have a battery fire, don't try using snow to put it out, because the snow will contain the heat, and then when the snow eventually melts or slides out of the way, the fire could easily rage even higher.
Great team work Mr Johnson, build outside stairs 👍
hello Mrs. Julie, regards here from Indonesian! nice to see u in the video
Using the sponge was a neat idea.
Thanks! It worked great for getting that thin stain on!
Coming from Idaho as well going to be a kickass winter, thank you for the video!🤘🏼
If you had notched in a 2x4 at the bottom of the stringers you could have tied all three together. As it is you will want to install a 2x6 at 2 different places along the length of the stringer. It will keep them from spreading as folks walk on it. Imagine several folks walking up the stairs possibly carrying items. It will add a lot of weight. You also really will want to install some X bracing under the main platform between posts. I used that sealing tape on the stringers under each step. This would greatly extend the life of the stringers. Good idea about the sealant. Test it when it dries with water to see if you might have a problem with slipperyness.
Keluarga bahagia 😍
Nice!
Thanks for sharing. Great work also
Good job!!! I see a great need for guttering. Love watching the progress.
Great video guys!
Thank you!
I didn't want this video to end. You guys are amazing. Merry Christmas from Chesapeake Virginia.
What a nice compliment! Thank you!
You two sound like you have great companionship !
god bless you"
Looks great, like the fancy brackets.
Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!
Looking great 👍
Hey Martin you knows allot I like all your videos
I love your channel. I've been binge-watching your videos most of the day that started back in October of 2020. I just noticed something that you might consider adding to the vertical support posts for the landing at the top of the exterior stairs. If you put some diagonal support braces between the two vertical posts and probably also the posts and the outside of the house there will be less chance of the supports buckling if for some strange reason something like a moose ran into one of the vertical posts...Safety first...lol
Nice job so far. I do have a suggestion that you might not have thought about. Snow coming off the roof and potential ice dams "will" break you stairs and hand rails of a very short time. I have had this issue in Breckenridge. Totally destroyed the north deck. I would suggest a stair roof extension. The only thing that will eliminate that issue.
I thought of that. Not sure we get that much snow. We will see what happens this winter.
Good job 🔥
You are a brave bunch, it is far beyond what I would ever want to try, but age is no longer on my side. Too much water has flowed under my bridges, too much wear has taken its toll. Still, I admire you and your family, for still thrusting ahead in the weather, well done. I expected to see far more bounce on the staircase, I guess you feel the bounce more when you walk the treads. Though, without a handrail, I would have to sit that one out, a 'me' problem, my legs are not what I would like them to be.
Awesome job!!
Take some damp paper towels next time before you lite the stove. Dip the damp towels into the ashes in the stove and rub it on your front glass and it will clean it. Good job on the stairs
Well done Marty & Jules, Stairs are tricky to do for the non -pro as it is, let alone the length of those. Cheers
Thank you!
one tip for you when putting in fixing bolts , leave the nuts on as your hammering them in or you can stuff up the ends
Very good job! 👍
Lot's of fun watching this here Fairley odd Couple build this 2nd story Deck Staircase, absolutely wonderful, love the indie rock music y'all were listen to like I said definitely subscribing and liking this video, whatcha doin is catching keep up the good work ! 😊
Amazing 😍
The video made me cold, have a very Happy Christmas thank you for your posts they have been very entertaining. Cheers John from Devon 🏴 9°C
You've just got a new follower from Brazil 🙌 I'm amazed at all you guys have done so far! Congrats! And I love working with wood as well
Looks awesome guys you have come a long way. Merry Christmas ~Cheri
I have been curious for some time as to why you began your garage/apartment project before finishing your first project, your house?
So we have a place to live while we finish the house.
Build back better. good work.
Ive seen stairs supported from the center of the stringers to the base of the posts for the deck platform. Could be a option if you rather have it supported already. Looks good
You should squirt the spade bit hole for the nut full of silicone caulk to seal it up..
Consider a gutter to keep all the water from the roof off. Nice work.
As always great video. You may wish to put a 2x4 on the inside of the 3 stringers it wil, increase the strength
Wow you 're so amazing, I Think in US home architect no need again, because most of people can built their own dream home.Greetings from indonesia
Hi Martin and Jo good work and stair look good but I have one fear in your type of weather cold , snow frozen and rain this stair will go sleepy to avoid there is outdoor aluminum sheet 1/8 size cut by fabrication and front band 1 1/2" .and also look good too.
Next time add salt to the cement , Calcium Chloride ! Cures faster in cold weather. I would add two more post in the middle of the stairs for more support.
@ 23:15 there is a nice new brush grapple for the tractor on the trailer 👍. would of thought a plow or snowblower also would be this year but guess not 🤔 a used enclosed cab would be nice as well 😏
You will see soon.
How good is that water proofing that Jules done , its a good feeling knowing that water ain’t penetrating into the timber hey, especially stairs 👍
You could install the top and bottom treads and tie a string to set the rest to..
Hi! In Poland, where I live, the climate is identical.
However, no one builds outdoor wood stairs. All make concrete or metal stairs.
I really like the concept you got in the movie.
Just tell me one thing if you can. How to protect stairs against snow or rain so that they do not rot.
Do you have to paint them every few seasons? And what kind of wood and paint You use?
Should think about putting support around the landing legs. With that distance I wonder if it'll tend to wobble
