   Any help(drawings/verbage) will be VERY appriciated!!

   Back at you.  Post a sketch with dimensions, or even photos - would be a big help to laying this out correctly.

   Headroom above the treads is another thing to consider. At your house's age, you're not bound by any code, but, 6'8" is the modern minimum. I've attached a sketchup... might help you. There's a pdf if that works better.http://www.tvwsolar.com

   We'll have a kid

   Or maybe we'll rent one

   He's got to be straight

   We don't want a bent one

   He'll drink his baby brew

   From a big brass cup

   Someday he may be president

   If things loosen up

   yes, paint is good for that, but you can also just sketch a picture, and take a digital picture of your sketch, and post that.  Or take a picture of the actual stairs, then post that. 

   I always figure the optimum stair layout at 11" tread, 7" riser.  But head clearance and other issues will dictate how close to that you can come. 

   There are some good stair guys on board here, who can give lots of good experienced advice.View Image bakersfieldremodel.com

   Would need to know the total elevation finished floor basement to finished floor above, and depth of the floor framing to be able to plot headroom
