Cool. This'll be helpful when we're finally able to remake my sister's basement stairs--they turn from her back entryway with little triangle steps, then steeply plunge under her kitchen cabinetry to go into the basement. Probably going to move her cabinets to the other side of the room, and go from there, but weren't fully sure how to proceed. Thank you!
A blessing to have a father like that.
You did a good job. I would not give up my secret underground lair so easily.
I wish I thought of that before posting this
I can't believe i just watched Seth McFarland build a staircase. Excellent job. Looks great. Much more useful and functional. 😆
It amazes me that architect’s and engineers went to school for this and didn’t utilize every opportunity for storage space I see places in my 50 plus yr home I just bought they wasted so much space that would add so much value!
This is exactly how I felt when I purchased my house!
Crawlspace? That's a full sized basement! Crazy
Nothing like working with pops,mines past away but he taught me enough about card & houses to have my own business with both, enjoyed watching the video.🙏💪💪
Thank you!
Why didn’t the builders ad this is a full size basement/crawl space for storage?? Everyone needs storage space I can’t get over how absolutely fantastic this is you guys did an incredible job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The little hidden ladder in the floor was dope, way more practical now, but it looked dope before
It’s dope until you’re going up and down that moving storage down there 😂
Hidden spiral staircase lol
This was awesome to watch you guys did an incredible job it looks Fantastic you should suggest to the builder to do this on all the homes 👍👍👍👍
This is the definition of Death Stairs. Uffda.
Nice job! It’s always nice to spend time with your Dad, cherish the moments. Looks great!
Thank you, this is exactly like my situation
Well done man!
Thank you!
We bought a fixer upper and after monsoon style rains we discovered we had a sump pump that was overwhelmed and water was flowing into the basement from under the very sketchy stairs. We pulled out the bottom two steps and the smell and build up was horrid. Some of the cinder blocks had no mortar at all! So that’s being corrected but I was in complete shock that the stairs hadn’t collapsed before. The stair stringers where not bolted to the side walls and with the wood rot the 4x4s that where there were worthless as far as support. So thankful for that storm. This had disaster written all over it.
What will you do with the gap between stairs and the walls?
Add moulding
I’m curious about the joists you removed. How did you reinforce the section you cut out?
What a find!
Right!?
We have temporary (not really temporary because we've left them like that for 20 yrs) builder grade basement steps. They are like deck stairs with two boards for each step and no riser/back. Cost has kept us from ever redoing them, but your project of $300 sounds great. We wouldn't need to install the three stringers that hold the steps since they are already in place. We would just pull off the existing stair boards.
My husband doesn't do a lot of diy projects because he works very long hours a week. I used to do most of the diy projects or I come up with the plan and my dad and husband help with executing it.
Do you mind listing exactly what wood and size you bought and the size you cut each board for the step and the back/riser? I'm mainly interested in the step overhang. That makes the steps look more expensive and professional. Once we re do ours I want to stain the tread and paint the riser white. If you mentioned what type of boards you cut and size I missed it. Everyone else probably knows, but I have ave no idea. Probably plywood? But it looks like pretty good wood. You did a great job and I really would like to use your idea. I have searched for quit awhile cheap ways to upgrade basement stairs, but most videos are for regular household stairs that use expensive treads and risers. Thanks for sharing your project. I'd really appreciate it if you can break down what size cuts you made.
Hi Man . Hard work. .. but nice. Congrats.
Hello, could you please give us the measurements of your staircase? the hopper and the height of the steps ?
Would you post dimensions of your stairs looking to build a set for my basement.
We have to have a 90 (Lshape) staircase going to basement. Two of the floor joists have to be removed to allow for head room. Do the headers that cap off the floor joists have to be supported by a wall under them, or can I keep it open?
How to fix the gap on stairs between wall and each step ?
What is the length of the floor opening?
Hello, I enjoyed your video. I am wondering if you could tell me the measurements of it I am wanting to redo my basement staircase and I am interested in some of your measurements the rise, the tread, the number of steps good job thank you.
Looks like a north shore special….
Right on Voyager lane baby!
(I can say that because I moved a couple years ago) 😂
great job! looking for a contractor in New York to do such a job for me for cheap price.
"for cheap price" Right! Good Luck.
No one is doing. Anything cheap anymore here. Everything has tripled
a question friend the ladder so that it is not very inclined of how many inches did you leave it ?
damn good job wish i could do this but cant fit the long stair stubs without destroying more than i can repair myself, thinking of bricklaying a simple stair cuz now theres just a loose ladder , cant find example of that though maybe thats not a good idea xd
Really good job but you probably shouldn't have put the intake in the stairwell. The intake takes the air from the living space to recirculate and recondition.
Right, I fixed this after the video
The intake should move upstairs to capture the hotter air. Intake downstairs is ok for winter but for summer it needs to move upstairs
are all houses in US made of wood? I am always surprised seeing youtube videos when they so easily break down walls. here everything is in solid concrete
A lot of them are, yes. Wood was (and still is) very abundant, so it is often used as a building material. These days more modern materials may be used, in place of wood, such as metal studs in place of wooden studs (aka, 2-by-4's (5cm x 10cm), which is the nominal size before the wood dries, so they're actually 1.5-by-3.5 inches (3.75cm x 8.75cm), which can be very confusing/annoying when you're trying to Make a Thing, such as yard furniture), but said metal studs aren't good support for hanging, say, a wall mounted TV on.
maybe one handrail?
Love it
This is awesome! How did you end up rerouting the intake? I’m looking to build out stairs to our crawl space/basement and we have the same situation going on there (DR Horton townhome)
It looks like that long air return was needed because of the basement being closed off. Now that the stair casee is open to the hole at the top, they just added an air return in the inside there, and that's all that was needed. (It's tough to see completely, but that's my deduction from what is seen.)
Was wondering the same thing.. they put a louver vent in the side wall for nothing. The return air came from upstairs and they never showed how they rerouted it, if at all.
I want to know how much that cost
Good job! What are you going to do about the big gaps between the stairs and the wall?
Since this is a staircase to an unfinished basement I’m not going to do anything. But if it were in the house I would put skirt boards on the sides
Why wouldnt the builder do a couple more block and give you a regular basement.
The town house was built next to a lake. Very high water table
Please share what sheet of plywood you used to cut your steps and risers? Thickness and width, length? I don't know anything about plywood really so i can't tell just by watching. Or if it would easier a link to home Depot or Lowes of what board and how many you used. I'd really appreciate it.
I used 1.25” thick particle board treads. I wouldn’t recommend using plywood for the treads. You typically can’t get it at Home Depot, you’ll need to go to your local lumber yard
@@theweekendbuilder thank you so much! Did you also use for risers? About how many sheets total?
@@SB-nh7ie I bought a 1/2” sheet of MDF and ripped it down on the table saw for the risers. If you have a table saw I recommend doing this because you can save a lot of money
@@theweekendbuilder thank you I really appreciate it. I actually live within a mile of a lumber yard. I'll get my dad to see if they have the particle board. Do they usually have MDF? I think dad has a table saw too. He and my husband had it in their mind we'd have to buy real oak treads and risers which would cost hundreds if not thousands for basement steps! I've racked my brains for years trying to find a cheaper solution that I can stain to look halfway decent. I mean it's not like they are in our front entrance or anything. As long as they are safe and don't look or feel like the shaky, "outdoor deck" stairs we have now I'd be happy. I think I can make them look nice enough. Thank you again!
You removed a portion of load bearing wall without adding supporting structure.
Hi Santosh Shah I appreciate you taking the time to comment! The portion we removed had joists that spanned the entire length of the ceiling. The wall was unnecessary to begin with. We left the wall in the sections that needed the support under the joists that were cut.
Probably should have explained that in the video so people don't get confused. The wall you left supports the stair wall above...fyi
I see now why this channel onlybhas 25k subs.
epic
How much would you charge someone for doing that same exact thing? Well, just the cutting and stairs?
Since I’m not a contractor I won’t be able to answer that, but I wouldn’t do it for someone else since I have no LLC - no liability protection. In total it only costed me about $300 in materials
@@theweekendbuilder Sweet, thanks. Dumont design?
@@TheNanoArcher Addison, are you from the area?
@@theweekendbuilder No idea, just recognized the floor plan lol
@@theweekendbuilder Are you in the greater salt lake area?
Amazing
You didnt sand the mud around the vent 😳
Thanks for the comment! I actually sanded it off camera. This will all be printed later as well.
@@theweekendbuilder 👍 looking forward to seeing you finish the basement
Would have been better w/o the crappy and distracting “music”.
