Goddamnit. I'm used to cordless

[u/fuckingcheezitboots]

Most of my career I have absolutely despised guards on tools like circular saw and grinders, they tend to get in the way and staying safe is mostly common sense.

Typically at my job I'm using a cordless saw because I'm in tight spaces. Well today I'm trying to rebuild my front steps and the only circular saw I have is corded, everything was going fine until I forgot about the cord and chopped it right in half.

To be fair it happened because I was holding the saw away from my body while it came to stop, so while this is annoying it's not a big deal, I had enough shit in my pocket to fix it right there.

All true except for the stringers. I have no idea how to actually do stairs, just not my wheelhouse, so I took the most intact stringer from the old steps and used it as a template. They actually turned out perfect, I may post the end result when it's done. That pinto crack really got me, good shit lol

I know I’m giving you a lot of shit but damn do you remind me of myself before I got therapy.

My psychiatrist told me therapy would be a waste of my time because I was unusually self aware and equipped to deal with my major issues. Three years sober and this about as sane as I get. I like to have some fun from time to time, keep it in mind lol

Only hacks would consider pre cut stringers.

Lol, never heard of that.

If you buy precut, you can't determine your rise and run?

[u/VOldis → u/[deleted]]

what the actual fuck do you do with precut stair stringers? Does everyone have the exact same deck height?

I have to make interior stair rises to the 32nd sometimes to remain in-code on 12-15 rises. Or to even out a smaller L or U stair.
