Look!: New Backyard Stairs

before, jump below for after

Yesterday we showed you how to pick out wood for building projects. What, you might ask, have we been using all of our wood for? Well, there was this project a while back but now we've got our paws in a whole new mess. Take a peek at the latest construction after the jump!

after!

You may have seen the first set of stairs we built. This is the second of 3 sets that we're putting in to create a backyard trail along part of our garden.

as seen from above, check out the masterful curve!

where the stairs connect to the trail

as a weekend warrior diy-er myself, I say that you two have done an incredibly impressive job with those steps!

those stairs look absolutely professional. excellent job.

(also, you up for a tutorial sometime, or a redirect to a place that teaches how to build these? please?)

In all seriousness, I am in a very similar position and would also like to build a set of stairs, yet dont really know how to start.

If you could provide a DIY on how you did this, I would REALLLLLLY appreciate it.

Thanks!
