Oh a wise guy eh?!- yuk yuk yuk"I'm your huckleberry"
Could not resist!
If we had some more information on what these stairs need to do? rise, run, width, materials, look?
yOU SURPRISED ME,i THOUGHT I WAS CLEAR ON WHAT i WANTED. i AM A CONTRACTOR BUT HAVE NEVER HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH HARDWOOD STAIRS. i AM CONSTRUCTING 3 SETS WITH 7 TREADS EACH APPROX 36-40 INCHES WIDE. i AM LIKELY GOING TO BUILD THEM OFF SITE AND INSTALL. tHE ISSUE IS ACTUALLY HOW AND WHAT IS THE SIMPLEST METHOD OF LAYING THEM OUT AND CONSTRUCTING THEM. i WILL USE REAL HARDWOOD TREADS AND PLYWOOD RISERS. tHEY ARE ALL BETWEEN WALLS BY THE WAY.SORRY i DIDNT KNOW MY CAPS LOCKED ON SOHOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.
I hate it when I do that!Gonna cut that little caps lock finger off someday.Coffman stairparts has a great little book with all the info you would need in it. My yard gave me one without even asking as I was pricing parts. some places might sell it - but I'd also bet you could google a pdf of it online and be ready to run. I'd look for you myself, but I've already got ten windows open researching something else.
