Staircase w/stair pans for concrete steps

admin

I finished this Thursday, this is the first one I have ever made like this. Definitely took longer than it should have to get everything right. The building is being redone, its really old, nothing is square or level. They are gonna pour concrete into the stair pans at some point. Attached ImagesYup
Reply:Anything to do with remodeling usually pays better because of the time involved, your having to work with out of plumb walls, and girders, takes time.  It looks like a job that took a lot of care to make it come out right."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:(william tell overture in the background...)Here  comes the liability police!I work on lots of jobsites and it seems theres always pressure on the contractor to temporarily fill the empty pans so noone trips-usually some 2x8 wood  works good..maybe you should notify the customer its his responsibility to doso and by so doing protect yourself ..nice work by the way
Reply:I did a Job that was exactly like that.  I used 1.5"X1.5" .125 angle for the corners of the pan. 16 guage floors and risers. the stringers were 3"x4" angle  .25" thick. and the landing from bottom to top staircase was made out of 4"x1.5" c channel .25" thick. with coregated steel floor for concrete to poor over.  and expanded metal tacked to the stair pans for the concrete to bond.  its cool seeing that someone else basically did the same job as you.
