Clip Summary
Interior carpenter John Kiley continues to build the staircase in the front hall of the modern Colonial. To attach the treads, Kiley uses a construction adhesive between the stringers and the bottom of the tread and carpenter's glue along the edge of the stringers. The treads are placed on top and nailed into the riser from above and then screwed with 1-1/4-inch screws from the back. The final step is to insert wedges underneath to insure the staircase remains sturdy.
