Stairs and Porch Repair - Part 2 - Demo and getting started on the right foot.

Even simple jobs can have a lot of details to keep in mind. In the second part of this mini-series, we talk a bit about structure, screws and nails, copper treating preservative, making a quick framing jack and prep for the construction, including:

- Demo and prep of the site
- fastener choice
- common mistakes with decks, porches, and exterior stairs
- railling considerations
- choosing lumber for stair stringers
- metal connectors / hangers

As always, this isn't a comprehensive how-to guide, but rather it is a look into some of the work and details that goes into a carpentry project. Make sure you do your own research regarding your local codes and building practices.
