Building Deck Steps Now That Outdoor Entertainment Season Has Arrived

Planning a summer barbeque...reading a great book out on your new or remodeled deck...creating a new season tan have gotten easier and classier with the New Age materials available for building deck stairs that deliver a design statement plus create value for your home and property.

Cool Contemporary Trends In Materials For Building Deck Stairs. When is a step not merely a step? Answer? When it's designed into a larger deck and entertainment area for every day use along with entertaining friends. No longer a "tag-along after thought" for a deck, deck stairs and deck stair railing systems create robust design statements...materials include traditional wooden deck steps such as pressure treated lumbers or more expensive but durable Western cedar...eco-friendly long lasting composite decking in subtle earth tones...and even high density vinyl.

How To Build Deck Stairs. All good, and all great deck step designs...especially when the "finished look" will be architect inspired with a textured composite and color-balanced material...rely exclusively on the quality of the support structure. Here, you and your builder are thinking about how to build deck steps supported by concrete support pads, structural timbers such as 2 in. X 12 in. pressure treated "stringers", anchor bolts, hangar and joist support hardware brackets, 16 in. center tread support studs, and of course laser-sighted layouts to determine pitch and angles so that each stair is level and "true".

Deck Stair Plans. Do-it-yourselfers can obtain remarkable and detailed deck stair plans online...from "big box" hardware and building supply retailers or local builders and architects. To design deck stairs, you'll need some form of PC-based cad program, in order to model different design iterations...adjusting width, height or rise or considering graduated width or even spiral deck staircase layouts. Look for programs, or service providers who can input your raw dimensional data...work up a complete bill of materials, from lumber lengths to deck screws...and then create a number of design "looks" for you to consider. Take your time. Decide slowly.

Deck Spiral Staircase. When building deck stairs and you want to make a huge visual impact, here's where the unusual wrap-around effect of spiral deck stairs becomes a design option. The positive argument says you'll create the same deck access, long life and load carrying capability plus you're adding seriously cool looks which may translate into improved home values. The less sanguine argument states that you'll find someone who has a physical difficulty or even a certain mental hang-up about approaching a deck spiral staircase, and of course seriously large objects (think huge grills, furniture, pianos, a team of Sumo wrestlers) generate difficult access-use problems.

Deck Stair Railing Systems - A World of Choice. No longer rough milled logs strung up outside Lincoln's Illinois cabin, modern decks get incredible finishing treatment options including metal deck railings (think steel, alloys)...cable deck railings (think thin-profile high strength steel safety cables held taut between upright posts)...or ultra-modernist see-through safety glass deck railings. Safety tip: check with your town's building code to learn about deck stair railing "code" requirements...spacing and layout which reduces risk of accident to you or guests or delivery guys.

Entertaining Belief & Skepticism - Explaining the Unexplained

My interest in the unexplained has taken me on an interesting journey, and I know it will continue. But my outlook has changed quite a bit since I started writing my little articles on these many mysteries. The more research and reading I do about this world and its wonders, the more I learn and grow. Consequently the more skeptical I become.

In the beginning I wanted so much for the mysteries to be real. I wanted the reports of encounters with the unexplained and tales of UFO, Bigfoot and other monsters to be evidence of a greater, more mysterious reality.

Maybe UFOs are spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrials, maybe Bigfoot is an unknown primate, maybe ghosts are real. But when I actually just sit back and think about it I must accept the possibility that these things are not real.

Many "believers" insist that skeptics keep an open mind when considering these subjects, but I propose that believers stop believing and open their minds to the other possibility as well.

It is imperative that we think for ourselves and expand our knowledge. That is the only way we can truly understand our world and ourselves.

Belief runs rampant among those who are interested in the unexplained or supernatural. Therein lies the problem. Those who fanatically believe in something will avoid facts, and dismiss anything that will change their view because they want so badly for what they believe in to be real.

It's human nature to want to believe in something greater than ourselves; a god, spirits, something unseen moving about, guiding us through our lives. Even UFOs and aliens seem to have some sort of spiritual and religious significance for some believers. But there is no proof that such beings exist. And to be fair, there is no proof that such beings don't exist either. But considering our history of gullibility, flights of fancy and imagination, it is not likely that they do.

A system of belief cannot prove, only solid evidence can serve as proof. Unfortunately there is no solid evidence with regard to any of these mysteries; be it UFOs, alien beings, ghosts, Bigfoot, and at the risk of opening a whole other can of worms, even God.

Many Bigfoot proponents claim that footprint casts, particular pieces of film footage, witness testimony, and other findings serve as evidence of the existence of these creatures. At one time I was inclined to agree, especially with regard to the Paterson Gimlin film footage and many track castings. But upon reading expert testimony with regard to the characteristics of curing plaster I don't necessarily agree that there is evidence of dermal ridges on track casts. I also can't agree with those who claim that the famous PG film of 1967 is proof of an unknown primate.

I'm intrigued by these mysteries, and the unexplained in general. They say everyone loves a mystery, and I'll continue looking at the pictures, listening to the stories, and imagining the ghost in the attic. But I don't really believe there is one up there. It's fun, it's entertaining, but that seems to be about it.

One of my favorite television shows was The X-Files, and I loved the poster that hung in Fox Mulder's basement office in the Pentagon. It was a blurry photo of a UFO followed by the words, "I want to believe."

But I just can't. And you know, the real world isn't such a mundane place when you explore scientific realities, astronomy, physics, biology and the host of other scientific discipline. It's all quite amazing, and dare I say... unbelievable.
