Why don’t we double miter our stairs?! Stay tuned for tomorrows vlog! #carpentry #build
What happens here
The video begins by showing a worker placing a light-colored composite decking board onto a pre-framed stair step. This board serves as the primary tread surface. After positioning the board, the worker uses a cordless drill/driver to secure it firmly to the underlying structure. This process is repeated for each tread, building up the layers of the multi-tiered stair unit.
Goal: Lay and secure the main walking surface for the lowest step.
