How to Build New Porch Step?
Hello All, Had the front 2x4 of this step become loose and tried to resecure it with deck screws to no avail. Was thinking of just building a new step from scratch and replacing this one. Problem is I’m a DIY rookie/novice when it comes to woodworking. I assume I can measure out the existing structure and goto Lowe’s / HD to have them cut to similar dimensions. However, I’m not sure if there any other complications I may encounter along the way or specific tools that I’d need which I don’t currently possess (outside of a drill and handsaw). Also unsure if theres a specific process, I’d need to follow to remove the existing step from the porch itself or any other things I need to be aware of (matching the staining on the new steps, etc). Hoping to get some tips from the veterans here - thanks in advance for your help! submitted by /u/bmfsfan [link] [comments]
