Im trying to lay out some stair stringers and im pulling my hair out. The problem is that the stringers are right at the length where 20' will work, but i don't have room for waste
At first i was laying the stringers out so they would be flush with the existing 2x12 and then put plywood roofing an 3" of decking on, so its all flush on the first step. The problem is with cutting 3 1/2 off the top step, it barely leaves anything to attach to the 2 x 12. Now im thinking i should make the first step lower, so you step off the deck down onto the first step.
Can anyone help me lay this out?
The concrete pad is 170" to the edge of it, so i figure to the front of the step it should give be 185". It will be 129 1/4 to the top of the decking, although at the moment, just the roofing is on
