"She's going to overcut on the stringers. They always overcut on the stringers" (see jigsaw for finishing cut on stringers) OMFG I'M IN LOVE
epoke
My wife: “See!? We can totally do this ourselves!”
Notabadhombre
April Wilkerson. She has a lot of great how to videos on YouTube.
floydpinkerton10
When i grow up, i want to be her
SecretaryNotSure
And after all that work, she moved. But built a nice HUGE workshop. April Wilkerson on YouTube. Good channel if you like diy wood working

So much unseen math in this gif.

Looks like April Wilkerson. DIY youtuber.
MasterPrime
I feel like she's a little more than DIY.
WookieWookieWookie
She kinda did do it herself. How's that not diy?
MasterPrime
Like someone who builds houses for a living I wouldn't consider it DIY if they built their own house, yanno?
PyroAvok
She doesn't do this for a living.
WesVTX
If you've ever laid out, cut, and installed stair carriages those joints you realize how extraordinary she really is.
yacko69
I have and if you do it every day its no big deal.
WesVTX
Nothing is a big deal if you do it every day. Congrats to you for doing a complex thing easily. Most of us struggle with stair carriages.
ididitforthelolz
I like seeing these cuz I like building things but then I remember I'm lazy and I don't like finishing things.
Jerf89
There is something oddly sexy about a woman who knows how to fix and build shit
xjphil2001
I really like the use of the jack to pull the concrete post anchors from the ground.
Angel666Hawk
I'm surprised the jack didn't dig itself into the ground
HelloMax
I’m embarrassed how many times I have done it the hard way after seeing that.
WebDragonG3
I know, right? Brilliant! I wish I had thought of that myself
secretagentdoubleobeaver
So much time wasted by digging around posts and trying to get deep enough to get them out.
mybrothersmario
I just wish it was possible to do with posts rotted at the cement.....
newworldtraveller
That and the man to lift it out
MantisTobagganMD
Lol, didn't notice that before
yacko69
you have to watch the whole video its cut out of this clip
MantisTobagganMD
....no its not?
yacko69
oh my bad it goes so fast...
DrunkenAdvice
First thought I had when i saw this...
UnkindledOne
My girlfriend wont even mow the lawn. The damn thing has a lever to move itself. You just have to guide it
Novirtue
Why do you have a lever on your girlfriend, that just sounds weird.

IWouldDoThings
I will assume you cook and clean the house and do laundry and all that for her?
[deleted]
[deleted]
IWouldDoThings
Housework, yes. Yardwork, no.
thissitestealswhatcouldvebeenmyproductivity
Don’t make and ass out of them if she isn’t making sandwiches AND mowing the lawn.
dannishadow
Because she's allergic to fresh-cut grass, bc she's lazy or bc she thinks it's a guy's job?
UnkindledOne
Last two.
dannishadow
That's shitty. You're supposed to be a team. Doing chores together.
IWouldDoThings
I do all the inside ones, my husband does the outside ones. That's fair too. Cutting grass is not my job, laundry isn't his.
dannishadow
That's fair.
Orangicus
Wow. How do I marry her?
Eight77
That is well put together.
jagsduuuuval
The only thing that I would worry about is how thick that slab is that she set the posts on. If it was made for that air compressor it might
jagsduuuuval
only be like 4" thick. Might need some footers to beef it up. There's definitely some weight. Could be a thick slab though.
mikeatike
So is the video.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
And the stairs are solid as well
ABn0rmal1
Jokes aside, that's the difference between a contractor and DIY.
Arsikere
pretty damn good staircase too!
MikeTheScientist
Heyooo!!!
beleginwaffle
Sturdy as heck, but I didn't see allowance for water runoff.
xjsxjs
Yeah, I would totally close them though. Snow, leaves, etc.
Bumpernutz
I've watched her how to videos a lot and they are really good!
andreasthdk
i don't trust stairs, they're always up to something
BigShowMiniMe
And they usually let you down.
UonlyThinkyourDead
someone go get her a sandwich
ChokingHazards
N
eddythep
Her man definitely needs to make her a sandwich
TheS4ndm4n
Or her wife if we can confirm a stereotype here
travelbuddy
The one guy who lifts the stairs can make it
sombrerohorsewagon
And the post
shoulkion
A sandwich? That shit's at LEAST worth a cake
FallenPredators22
And a beer, or two, or three...
shoulkion
cake and beer go poorly together. Cider, wine, or a mixed drink would do better.
commentsectiontrafficcop
Quickly men! TO THE KITCHEN!
rgr33572
Forget that! Get a engagement ring!
LeeLooDaIIasMultipass
Yep she definitely deserves a sammie
DrPepper523
AnabeILee
And a frosty cold beer...or drink of choice that's some hard work.
PoopTransfer
Glad that man was there to help her do the lifting
SeanARambo

And a cold sweet tea in a glass. Every day around lunch time until the project is complete. Either that or help.

She could be part of a sandwich.

that's too much effort after building a staircase
CmfMttnPpl
You calling her a snack?
kallekaskas
By the title, I thought she was going to get herself stuck up there.
CompletelyOrginal
I hope she soaked that first.
koopaya
lol it's treated lumber so in a way, it kind of is soaked. SOAKED IN WOOD.
SillyGoat
In logs, hopefully.
hillarydufflebag
Right? I was like uhhhh looks nice but like is this the right wood?
cracktoberfest
That’s not what this joke is referring to.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Yeah. A couple of times you can tell it has the greenish color that pressure treated wood has. She done good, kid.

Does anyone have her number she built that in seconds

slagathorstiffnips
I built a bird house that was condemned by a building inspector
clamorousanemone
Always overbuild your stairs, never fuck with a lawsuit
fettuccine
So was this overbuilt?
ZBears
Railing wasn't to code
leodavinci1
Or self injury.
yacko69
would ever pass building inspection where i live. you can't notch the posts.
mybrothersmario
The posts aren't notched, the only 4x4s that got any notching on this are the top railing posts, 2x6 cross-braces were half lapped though.
yacko69
that's what i said the 4x4 posts can't be notched... duhhh
mybrothersmario
Is it really against code where you are to notch railing posts? The main structural ones are not notched at all.
yacko69
yup stupid city and don't even get me going on the ugly ass spindles you have to use.
mybrothersmario
actually looks like it's probably 2x8s
houneidi
Her youtube channel is amazing. She went from never lifting a hammer to building a Workshop. She is 100% self taught. 1 of 2
dbrsong
Let's be honest, no one is self taught in anything anymore. Still props to her.
WhatDidITellYouWhyYouNoListen
Thanks for this, she just got a sub from me.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
What about a dom?
swatz
Nice. I finally got onto my nephews the other day. I could give them all the equipment for any project that wanted to do, but acted like <
swatz
>they had to wait on me to come show them. (teens) I finally told them How do you think I learned! AND YOU have google and youtube! Time <
swatz
>to stop watching cat videos all day and watch some HOW TO shit!
Shoutrr
her debut videos were short and mostly speaking of her sponsors. She greatly improved her content since then.

Did enjoy watching her build her new workshop, super jealous , would love that kind of space

It's easy when you have money. :-)
AgentJohnson
Yeah. She's proficient at what she does but I can't watch her videos. It's almost obscene how much money is spent in her videos on tools.
MarcUK
That large workshop she built, on land she owned, next to her big house. Who has that sort of money for DIY projects that she does?

Lucky bastard
GodEmperor0fMankind
As my scumbag ex roommate used to say "Soccer's got a goalie."
brakefailure
She also wears tight pants and gets her butt in as many shots as possible. She knows what she’s doing.
FinestFruitsandVegetables
So what?
brakefailure
Exactly... It doesn't bother me at all.
4rine
Tells more about you than about the worker in the video.
morgandesi77
This type of comment, and way of thinking, perpetuates the sexism and double standards that women are constantly subjected to. Please stop.
IAlwaysUpvoteSexy
I feel like tight pants (if you’re wearing jeans) are the best when doing work. I might be in the minority, but baggy shit gets in the way
IAlwaysUpvoteSexy
More than tight pants restrict. And this is coming from a dude. Yay for tight pants.
LandoCowrissian
I rewatched the gif a few times after reading this comment, her butt is in less then 15% of the shots so you can go fuck yourself
brakefailure
Wow... Lol... 15% is quite precise. This type of crazy response to what basically amounts to a compliment is crazy. Society is loosing it.
edward8767
Brakefailure is a subtle troll and he got you good my man
moxiefoxxy
No. He’s not. He’s just a douche, but thanks for playing.
edward8767
He's literally a troll how can you not read between those lines hahahahaha Jesus Christ
