I am rebuilding a short set of stairs (about 3 feet high) from a deck to a concrete walkway below.
Unfortunately the walkway is not perfectly level and I cannot figure out how to get the bottom of the stringer to rest squarely on the concrete.
The existing stairs has to remain in use so the rebuilding is being done piecemeal, with new stringers fitted underneath one at a time and then the treads replaced one at a time.
One idea I had was to have the bottom of the stringer curved and touch the walkway only at one point somewhere in the middle.
Another idea is to sister a block to the bottom of the stringer to make full contact with the concrete walkway.
