  • Great video, but seriously you yanks and you imperial system?! Get with the times! You go from imperial to metric to be able to use calculator then extra steps calculating to get back to imperial to use your measuring tapes?!? Seriously that's retarded.

  • @gubanpg I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, nearly every single thing in the building industry would need to be changed for us to be able to convert to metric. As ridiculous as our system is, I can't imagine that we could ever get everyone on board to make the change.

  • what dictates the degrees for bottom and top of stringer? or how did you figure that out?

  • @90torogoz Watch part 2 of the series

  • how do you find the accurate degrees for the cut on the floor and the cut up against of floor?

  • Awesome video. Subscribed!

  • This is fascinating.. I have always wondered how stairs were calculated.

  • @gubanpg haha i agree with you, metric is a lot more easy but they want to use the stupid english system, using metric system we would not need the calculator..

  • Excellent presentation. Clear and with a good tone. Having seen pts 2 and 3, I'm now confident enough to undertake a job I thought was well beyond me. (But I'll take it slowly)

  • Everyone in the world has done it, nothing easier than counting by 1s, lots of older guys still count in cm's I think it's easiest by mm's.

    I feel sorry for the young guys starting trades, they have to learn fractions etc which is completely unnecessary.

  • Thanks for clarification & making it so easy :) That was the only part of redecorating that I kept thinking -I couldn't do it myself . Now I know I can !
