Hey guys I am new here but I wanted to ask and get an opinion on this as we aren’t very handy ourselves.
My fiancée and I are finishing a lofted apartment area above a garage. We hired a family friend’s husband as our contractor and so far we haven’t made it far into the process.
He has torn down the old deck and put up a new extended one, which looks okay from what I can tell. However there are a few points on the stairs, especially the bottom step, that have splits in the wood. I am concerned that this may lead to loose boards or repairs needed later on.
Based on my one wood shop class in high school, I didn’t think this looked good, but like I said I am not very handy so I want a second opinion. Is this something I should have them fix or is this to be expected?
It honestly might be AI?
Like the top pic and the bottom pic don't add up. Either the pictures are of two different attempts or neither are actually real...
I have no idea why OP would bother faking it tho.
But the top pic only has the sideways screw on the left, the bottom pic has it on the middle. Unless OP did it himself and the top pic is before they put in the middle screw?
It's just all around weird
Quick edit:
The wood grain on the middle edge flips...
If it's not AI then it's two attempts complete with different runners.
Both the first and third stringer have damage.
Yeah, I wondered that briefly as well. One reason I didn't bother to elaborate on the problems, if it is an AI image I'm not going to help train it.
