What happens here

This video demonstrates the construction of outdoor stairs using pressure-treated lumber, secured into a sloped area between two retaining walls. The process involves assembling and securing individual step frames (risers and treads) to the existing landscape and retaining walls, ensuring stability and proper leveling. The creator highlights the challenges of working in a sloped, inaccessible area and plans for future gravel filling and weed barrier installation.

Outdoor stairs. I'm going to make them today. Pressure treated lumber 4x6. Hold it right there. 6-in lag bolts. Exterior grade. There's got to be an easier way to do this. I'm going to need a shovel. Clear that up. Might be up there. Okay, that was simple enough. First one should always be the hardest. Do hammer. Probably see if it's level pretty good. Is it lunch time yet? Big old auger bit. 1/2 in stakes. keep it from moving. I've actually never tried it. That's an interesting sound. Why didn't you just pour concrete for the steps? Really expensive. Can't get a truck up here. Three. If no truck, no way to get the wheelbarrow down here. I got a lot of shoveling to do. A little back fill action. I didn't dig far enough. I don't know what I'd rather be doing. Digging a hole in this. Trying to dig with a flat shovel. It's like trying to eat a steak with a spoon. Don't do that. Don't do that. Gatorade sounds so good right now. Man, it hurts to try to look cool. Well, I saw that was bleeding a little bit. Apparently, I just ripped a bunch of skin off. If only I had gloves. Safety third. You know, 4 hours goes by pretty fast when you're having fun. All right, I got seven steps done. Back is tight. I'm not hungry anymore, but I am bleeding. Make sure to tune in for part two. Then we're going to fill it up with all the gravel and all that stuff to make sure. Oh, and weed barrier. I don't want anything growing through it. Part two. Make sure you follow.
