Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I live in a 30 year old house and have a problem with the stairs going down to my basement. One side of the stairs is against the outside wall and the other side is open. The stringer on the open side has developed a bow and is pulling the treads out of the opposite side on about 2 or 3 treads. My idea is to put a threaded rod from one side to the other and try to bring the bow back to a straight line. I can get under the stairs to do this no problem, but I don’t want to have to replace the stringer if I don’t have to, because everything else is finished in the basement and that would create an enormous amount of work. Is my idea feasible or have I gone off the deep end?
Thanks

go for it..just be certain the stairs are still safe to use..if it is bowed that badly, ya may have other problems as well.
