Super Easy Steps with Mobile Home Decks and Stairs

Mobile Home Decks and Stairs with Super Easy Steps - So this is a multi-layer step. It looks like they've just been adding to it over and over again. Here's a top layer here, this is the riser, these are the plates, and they are all screwed in, and they're, they've got a nice deck coat on them, So they sort of adhere to each other at the backs, and then you can see there was another layer, with a carpet piece on it, and then there is a wood layer, a three two by four underneath. And that's all been filled out, with various methods to make it work. So there is actually like two and a half inches, or three inches of step everywhere. Two and a quarter inches of step. So, that's what we've got to cut off, it's all screwed, so that makes it really hard to pull it apart, so we won't be able to do that, we'll have to cut through, and then take it off all at once. That's probably the best way. Anyway, that's what we get, the kind of jobs we get. So, we've taken the top layer off of this thing, and we're starting to build in steps as we go. So, it works out to a nice twelve inch step, which is a two by four, and a ripped, two two by fours and a ripped two by six. This one is just temporary here, but I like to have just a little bit of a, not a very big gap, so ladies don't catch their heels, that step is not finished there but this is, and it's working out pretty nice.


The steps are twelve inches, deck photos for mobile homes which is really nice, and they have a kick on them now, which makes for better climbing ability. So tomorrow, we'll take those off, and get it at least done down to there, I guess. I hope. Now we've got the steps all stripped, and here's putting them back together, so we've added spacers in there, to get it at the right height. and some little bits of flashing, to keep the water off these old stringers. The stringers are a little bit older, but they seem in good shape to me. We've put Thompson's on the stringers, filled up all those old nail holes with Thompson's, so they didn't soak water, and put the flashing over top, and then the spacer on top of that. To get it back up to the same height, because there was so many layers on it.Beaconsfield Inn. We've got the bottom step in, and it's nice and solid, we haven't done the landing yet, but we've got this, this major step in too. And this wood is very non-slippery.

I guess it would be slippery with ice, mobile home deck awnings but so would anything, yeah. Looks really good. And we'll finish that landing off on Monday, I guess. It's supposed to be a, the rain's supposed to be over on Monday for three days of niceness. So, here we are removing the landing. It's got two layers of heavy plywood on it, like this. I guess I don't know if you can even see that. There. And it was screwed, double screwed everywhere, so we need our big, big tools, our World of Warcraft tools. Ha ha ha. What do you call them? The multi-axe there. The curve axe? Yeah. We could call this one milner. Milner. Okay. Ha ha ha. That's the World of Warcraft name for that. And the big brute is always the big brute. Brutus. So, we've got the steps done, we're just doing the landing now, and we got a nice day to finish that.
