What happens here

Construct the staircase for the deck, starting with the stringers and then attaching the treads. The video shows the creation of the stair stringers and their installation, followed by cutting and attaching the composite treads. A previous oversight is corrected by adding additional support for the flexible composite treads to ensure stability. The creator highlights the efficiency of the Skil 2Ah 12V batteries, noting their impressive power despite their small size.

Goal: Provide access to the new deck with a sturdy staircase

Tools and materials

Composite Treads — The horizontal surfaces of the stairs
Cordless Drill Skil — Screwing down treads and assembling stringers
Skil Miter Saw Skil — Cutting composite treads to length
Skil PWRCORE 12 2Ah Battery Skil — Powering the cordless drill (noted for surprising power)
Stair Stringers — The main structural supports for the stair treads

frankie and i divide and conquer while i'm focusing on the deck he begins working on the steps except we run into a little snag [Music] the original wood deck had three stair stringers but that's not enough support for this flexible moisture shield so we've got to either narrow up the staircase or add more stair strings [Music] the stuff is heavy and flexible you see [Music] there [Music] the decking has to be notched out around the post but also has to end on a joist
