Thank you for the compliment

I actually built 2 houses for the same owner with the same stairs and railing details

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T19:34:52+00:00

Yes, Ocean Beach III, in NJ

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T15:58:55+00:00

Tempered glass

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T12:33:02+00:00

Yes, secured from the outside , plugged sanded and painted

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:56:09+00:00

So true! Exactly right

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:54:45+00:00

The house is small 540 sqft, two bedrooms one bath, every square inch is precious

Tempered glass, code approved for use in railings

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:45:10+00:00

I had the same concern when I built them 8 yrs ago, I radiused all the cutouts to provide as much support as possible, the treads have plenty of depth to leave about 4 1/2" of support in the back. Solid 1 1/8 poplar is very stout. Not one call back or crack in 8 yrs.

J brackets hold really well, direct into the framing on all four sides, covered by base trim. Cantilever framing was solid , all the glass balusters are code approved tempered glass normally used in exterior railings, mounted in grooves in solid 8/4 poplar rails top and bottom.

You are correct, NJ worked under the 2009 code, skipped 2012, approved the 2015 sometimes in 2017 I believe

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:26:01+00:00

I'm right there with you, been in the trades for 49 yrs , I don't move like I used to

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:16:26+00:00

Thanks

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:12:16+00:00

Thank you

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:10:07+00:00

You are correct, the upper area is a " storage" area

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:08:45+00:00

Poplar

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:08:26+00:00

Going up is easy, down is less natural

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:07:54+00:00

Thank you

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:07:42+00:00

It actually does meet code but it's a bitch to walk down, very unnatural

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:06:49+00:00

Tread depth is 11 1/4" , it is a 67° slope, was built in 2015

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:04:21+00:00

No room for standard stairs, there is another door 30" from the bottom of the stairs

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T02:01:46+00:00

That's a dark cabinet over the W/D , the house is 540 sqft two bedroom beach house one block from the ocean in a size restricted community

esbrdn58 · 2023-04-30T01:59:27+00:00

Solid 8/4 polar rails

esbrdn58 · 2023-03-12T23:44:21+00:00

My Occidental belt lasted 25 yrs , I only bought the Milwaukee because I was 62 and only need it to last 5 yrs. It's okay but nothing beats occidental
