Love ya Tay but those stairs were a version of perfuming the pig. However there is a flipside. Whomever does purchase the house can come to Lift Arc Studios for a back patio stair build. A win win.
I am surprised that nobody else had commented on the sharp corners at the top where you cut the side c-beams. A piece of plate over that would easily mitigate that issue, but it seems like a rather significant hazard as shown. It would not be out of the ordinary to expect that someone might fall while on or near those stairs, and landing on that corner could do a decent amount of damage. Depending upon what county your property is in, you may or may not need handrails as others have mentioned, but if required it seems that only one side would be necessary (unless your local authority having jurisdiction says otherwise).
IMHO those stairs will get replaced as soon as someone moves in. People just want the standard and nothing original.... Good luck selling the house! Looks like a great find for someone - I'd buy it since we've been looking for something exactly like this, but I'm 3000 miles away.
True. Buyer's perspective is, "Hmm, what else is half assed or seems off around here?" Once you open that box, tons of things jump out at you. Doing less because we're "In a hurry" is a common mistake that slows or kills the sale process. Not here to slam him, so I'll leave it at that.
Nice floorplan, on a hill, 3-car workshop, I'd have asked for 1-2k off asking to cover the cost of stairs. Too bad I'm halfway across the country and not looking to move out there.
Looks to me like that door opens out. If so you really need a landing as long as the door is wide...at least in California you would need that! Love your videos
The stairs are a good temporary fix. Better than no stairs at all. IMHO, they are an extreme hazard. An unsuspecting person would not expect to have to step down immediately. Aside from that, your house is beautiful. I'd snatch that up in a minute.
Black Dog Salvage!! That's where I remember you! I've been watching your vids a while and been sub'd but right when you mentioned your fire pit it hit me. Awesome
So, I haven’t seen the entire video, but right at where he’s measured the door height. Well, did he account for the fact that the patio where that bottom step will land is lower than where the patio is right at the house wall? Stay tuned folks, it will be interesting to see. I agree with the others, the top stair can’t be where it is. It needs to be level with the door. And handrails! Someone coming out of that kitchen with big plates of food are going to find that precarious. Oh, it’s a very nice house.
Ouf. Couldn't you have made the upper tread(?) / step(?) the same hight as the bottom of the door? That looks so odd to me, that there is no landing, i guess... But I may be architecturally biased, as where I live, doors are more recessed into the house, by roughly a 8 or 10 inches. But good luck on selling the house, I hope you can close the deal on the new building. 🍀
Oh my God all that work and you didn’t even walk in or out that door. For the rest of the day I’m gonna be wondering if that door actually opens. Talk about a cliffhanger! It’s not like I got OCD or anything… I’m gonna be thinking about this for the next week or until you do another video. I sure hope you show, an operational stairway in your next video. Guess I’ll just have to wait… Patiently. That is all. I still gave you a thumbs up.
Maybe a grey color would make it look good too? Just a suggestion. Black is a bit harder color to get to blend in. There isn't much other black details on your house
Love your videos. But those steps are an accident waiting to happen. You have all the space in the world to make a roomy landing level with the floor of the house, a decent hand rail, and wide, gentled sloped steps to go down into the patio with a tray of food and drinks without needing Cirque du Soleil experience...😀
Code isn't the same everywhere however, I'm under the impression you need a flat landing below where a door swings. Hope a Home inspector shows you some mercy. Plus, it couldn't hurt to check on railing requirements just to expedite a smooth closing.
You would have been better off to make them from scratch & could have included the handrail that is needed as well as a landing outside the door. I would have add a large landing handrails and turned the stairs to run along the building. There will be a problem with that last step not being equal to the rest of them. I had that same problem on a short step transition at a jobsite which caused several people to trip due that last step. I built a new replacement steel set, problem solved.
That looks like something that's going to have to be reworked. No offense, I think it looks good. Just with my experience with home inspections that's going to need a railing and it probably won't meet municipal codes. I say that because most inspectors want equal spacing and that bottom step distance looks from the video to be different than the landing step.
i might be the bearer of bad news... It looks like with 3 risers you may need a landing at the top of the stairs along with a rise max of 8.25 and a tread depth of 9 inches... according to your CAD plans it looks like your good on the rise but not the tread depth. please double check but some home inspector is going to flag that stair set most likely.
@@fkiesel9442usually an engineer the municipality has who checks that everything is up to code when you sell, or sometimes buy. It varies according to where you are. Codes also differ. It’s a big country.
@@fkiesel9442 why you buy a house the mortgage many home buyers hire an inspector to ensure there are no issues with the structure and the mortgage companies will hire inspectors as well to make sure the home is a good investment for them as well. inspectors are the ones that might find bad wood or piping, leaking windows or bad electrical.
Always enjoy your videos, but that was a lot of work and time. I would have just run down to the hardware store and purchased a set of concert steps. lol

Those steps are so awful. lol. Now you have to step up, open the door while stepping down then step back up. A simple wooden set of steps with a nice top landing would have been easy and cheap.
Only thing I hate more than buying a house is selling a house. It’s like you are a puppet on a string. Sad thing is the things you are doing are things you would have enjoyed while you were living there.
Not a fan of those stairs. If you are going to attempt the job then do it right. Just looks like cut corner work. Also you say you don't care what we think. Rude. This is probably because you know these stairs are wrong.
Tay, just because you typically work with metal is no excuse for forgetting that wood exists. The stairs needed a small landing, railing and treated lumber. Sorry but the metal stairs do not look good against the bricks and don't match the exterior house vibe at all.
Not sure how I came across this channel probably a product review because that’s the majority of what you do in between carrying on like school kids, oh and apparently you make poor quality fabrication projects. Take an extra day and do the stairs properly, they are rushed and shit. Like another comment if the stairs are rubbish what other corners have been cut in the house?
Personally, I would have made the top step level with the floor so as to create a 'landing' rather than stepping straight out-and-down.
Definitely should have a landing. Might even be a bldg code requirement.
The problem with a landing is it needs to be lower than the threshold or rain will bounce into the house or snow will block the door from opening
@@doughudgens9275 the problem with no landing is it’s not safe.
The landing in my area is required to be 3ft Sq. I generally make then 4 so you can stand on it with your hands full and operate the door.
Yeah a door-wide and deep landing then steps down, safer that way

Such a nice house. Shame to see the stairs be so half assed.

Better than a stack of pallets, but the missing landing on top is a huge no-no, like stated by multiple other commenters

A door without stairs, major safety problem. ABS between the stairs and patio solved the only problem I saw. They are perfect!
I seriously thought that a guy with a fab shop would build a nice set of stairs. I guess it's that old story of the cobbler needing new shoes.

Lol, all the iron work and the C-clamp in the utility sink screams "A metal worker lives here!"
Man I’d freaking love to buy that house. I just ain’t got that kind of money. But it seems like it’s in a beautiful area and peaceful.
Now the realtors are gonna tell you that you forgot the hand rail for the stairs....lol Neverending story...
You forgot the handrails. 😅 Best of lucking selling your house. 😁
That's what I thought!
handrails ? lmao ... maybe a parachute too

Nice place, you must be planning to buy something extremely cool if you are selling this.
I think they look pretty cool 👍
Where I live this wouldn't meet code since no landing step.

Old people will want a handrail. And I agree there should be a landing with a door that high.
You guys make me laugh with your inches this and inches that 😀, I would suck as a fabrimakator in America!
My 2 cents. Should have hade a mason remove the door from kitchen. A little drywall inside and done.
I'd round these sharp corners on the top of the stairs

Don't know about code there but here if it is over three steps code requires a handrail?
Patience
the price isn't half bad for what you get. Too bad I'm not in the market for a new place, and that one the rest of the way across the country 😅
Good luck
love it
It's difficult to open that door if you are in the steps.
Maybe but you don’t have some monster landing and stairs sticking out in the nice patio….like it !
show us the racecarrrr!!! :)
please
Hand rails!!
Should have taken that street sign and cut it into strips to use for the shims.
Come on admit it , you’re going to live in the old school bus!
Do you race the school bus?
In my area an outdoor door requires at least a 3 foot square landing before the stairs go down.
You had to whistle 😮. My dogs went apes!t

Beautiful property! Would love that for my dogs and projects. GLWS
Interesting that with that many steps code requirements didn't want a hand rail added to the addition
I seriously wonder if it is to code , Not in Illinois for sure !
top step should be sam bottom door it's still tripping haser
When you walk out, look down and stay in the middle. At least you make it worth watching
What up with that queso wagon?
Nice job
your going to need a handrail
What’s the model of the bike in the garage ?
Look like my old Honda.
next they will want a railing lol

Stairs look out of place and odd. I would have just deleted the door.
In 8 hours? I'm guessing probably not.
yes chipp💩

Your stairs are not code legal. You need to have a landing outside the door, then the stairs, and some hand rails. Thumbs down.
No, that set of stairs is way too sketchy. Too much opportunity for somebody to injure themselves.

Sorry the stair looks awfull and dangerous. Imagine small children using it 🤕🩼
