have cut your stair stringers and figured out where everything is going
to be positioned. You're out at the planning stage and ready to start
nailing things together, but there's one more thing you need to know,
before you nail everything together.
Stair Building Tip
If I had a quarter for every time I nailed something in the wrong place
and needed to remove it, especially after I nailed the heck out of it, I
could probably buy a couple of gallons of gas, assuming that gas hasn't
risen over $100 a gallon.
It's not uncommon to nail a stair stringer, landing or platform together
and realize that you made a mistake.
If you do nail something together incorrectly, be as careful as you
possibly can, removing the stair parts. Try to eliminate any damage and
if the stair parts are damaged, they will need to be re-cut and mistakes
like these, cost money.
This is another reason why you need to read each page of this free how
to build stairs, section of the website. Stair building tips like these,
reduce frustration, save money and create safe stairways.
