1st time building finshed stairs questions

[Larry Edgerton]

+6 on housed and wedged stairs. No fasteners involved except for a couple of screws in the back of the riser.

Big mistake #2: Do not check your total rise from the top to the floor directly below it, floors are not always level, especially basement floors. Instead check from the top to where the floor will land. You can use a simple water level to make a reference mark at the lower landing. Many stairs have failed inspection because of this.

With housed and wedged there is no fitting, slam the treads and risers and drive in some wedges. Next!
