Ok guys,
I guess it is my turn to take a shot at some of this here
Bob Vila home improvement stuff.
I just purchased an investment property that needs a little
work. I have already done a hot-water heater, a toilet and
sink and the troops are finishing up the vinal flooring and
carpeting to-day. N
For all the more it cost to buy the jacks pre cut, I suggest you buy them. Just
measure the Height and the width you have for the steps and let the lumber yard
worry about it. I believe it cost me about $1.50 a jack more than if I would
have cut them myself .

Let him know the height say 4 feet. Now let's say the width
you have is 6 feet where the step will end. You will give
him that dimension 4: x 6
The plastic decking must be at a minimum of 16 inch centers or it will belly
out. I personally don't like the stuff, even if it does save work of treating
it every so often.

Damn... I am starting to feel stupid.
What is a jack other than the one you raise a car on? Is
this the entire step assembly or do I need to cut the
upright and step parts in addition to this jack?

The light bulb on our front porch went out. Question; being that it has
some kind of censor that turns the light on once it gets dark and turns off
in the morning when it gets light, is it a special light bulb? My wife
thinks so, but I don't think so. I think it'll takes any light bulb

Have you checked out home depot? We bought some rubber like material there
a few years ago that you wet and applied to the window. It may have been
some kind of plastic, but it's still in good shape, and if I remember
correctly, they had it in stained glass.
Ah this sounds much more to my liking. Thank you Brice.

Rita,
If you really don't care about looks, and don't want light or anything
else "visie" through, then cover the darned glass with
good old contact paper, now-a-days it's plastic.
You'd probably have to get them pretty clean first, but it can be had in
lots of patterns, and if its slick plastic

The only consideration you should concern yourself with is that you not install
a light bulb with so high a wattage that the fixture overheats. The fixture
