Today was a long, hot, back-breaker! My rip saw performs to about 75% of my expectation and the rest is pure will power! Seems all my tools are this way; or, I just ain't got no skill'z!?!
I had to layout stair stringers. This is arguably the hardest task when it comes to deck / tree house construction. You have to work a carpenters square and do it effectively enough to not destroy a handful of costly 2X12s. My task involved cutting 3 stringers:
Lucky for me, I had this convenient output from the stair calculator and my previous day's modeling measurements:
Additionally, I built a form for a concrete landing to anchor the stairs to the ground. Again, most of this is just temporary so I can dial in the precise positioning of stringers & concrete form before committing to final fastening:
Here's everything in temporary position, un-fastened, so I can finalize my landing position and confirm the success of my stringer build - SUCCESS!
