CORNER STAIR FRAMING 101: class is in session 📝
What happens here
The initial part of the video briefly shows the preparation phase for the deck structure, which includes mixing concrete. Water is first added to a wheelbarrow, followed by dry concrete mix, and then thoroughly combined using a shovel. Subsequently, this concrete is poured into trenches where rebar has been laid for reinforcement. This step implies the creation of footings or a foundation necessary to support the deck and its stairs.
Goal: Lay the concrete foundation for the deck and stairs.
