New house

[Texas82GP]

Stairs are done, minus the very bottom riser. Ran out of material. Then it's on to the railing. But I need a break for a couple of days

Main part of the hand rail is in. I took ck80 recommendation and added two posts in the middle, buried into the ground, and concreted into place. Will help the handrail as well...

Made these brackets at work. Need to modify them slightly then I'll bolt them in place. 10 gauge stainless steel.

Looking good. I should hire you to sink some poles and pour some slabs down here.

I dig the stainless post brackets. Showoff.

Hey free material and I got to cut it out on our fiber laser. Then had the sheet metal guy bend them up on our 250 ton cnc press brake. Gotta have some benefits to work

Little more accomplished today. Back story. I obviously poured the slab first. To know where I had to locate it I had to measure and calculate the stringers first. BUT that also requires knowing how much rise you need to cover. Which at that point I only had an idea from ground level to the deck. After pouring, it came up a couple of inches less. No big deal right? Welllll, ends up that changed me from 10 steps to 9, which also shortened the distance out from the deck which meant the stringers wouldn't reach the slab I had just poured. Ooops. So I played with the numbers until I could get 10 steps and get the stringers back on the slab. They landed and all worked out. What it did cause though was the concrete landing that I was planning on being 12" in front of the first step, was only about 7". Way too short and uncomfortable. Definitely a possible trip hazard.
So fall back and punt. Best option was a couple a pavers and taper the lawn out. Good enough for who it's for 🤣

Railing for the stairs will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Don't forget to paint 'do not climb' or some such variant on the risers in 6" lettering around eye-level before all is said and done

Gotta say, the ACQ in your area looks way better than whats available down here. Even the premium doesnt look that good.
