Stairs
Well, I skipped the whole part that I am pouring a concrete sidewalk on the side of my house. I had originally planned on this being a quick, knock it out in one day kind of a project, but the fates consipired against me. That and forgetting things like baseball games etc. Anyway I digress. (Wow, can’t believe the spell checker fell for that one.)
Steps to the side door. Actually building the stairs was pretty easy, which confused me based on some comments a friend of mine had initially made. Then I finally understood. My stairs were easy, because I have NO design restrictions on where the stairs end. I had a 30″ drop from the deck to the concrete sidewalk I had poured, so I just divided the by 7, which gave me four steps, then rounded it up to have all the same rise (7 1/2″). Then just used the framing square trick to cut the stringers. I had to pause for a minute to take into account the first step thickness. I can see how tricky it would be when restricted by the linear dimension of where the stairs can start and end.
Here are some pic’s of the stairs and me in action.
