Look at the attached pic carefully. All the stair carriages of this three-flight winder have their outside stringer member firmly spiked to adjacent studs. The lower intermediate landing platform (only perimeter frame shown) is spiked to studs on outside edges (“wall”) and has a post under its inside corner. That little skew wall under the inside carriage stringer of the middle flight supports it on its inside edge, and of course that flight’s outside stringer is spiked to studs (remember?). But, there is NO WAY I can get a post under the inside corner of the other landing platform, and realize the design of all the trim, etc. Don’t we transfer enough support to that platform by virtue of the middle flight’s hanger being firmly glued, screwed, and tatooed to the landing platform’s edge. Remember, that middle flight is solidly supported on both sides. Will you join me in stomping down these stairs?
