Closer and closer, with the scaffold up now I can access the final bits of plywood and finish the strong wall connections by installing the correct grade of bolt that I didn't have when I set them.
I also install the final treads, risers and landing plywood from the main floor to the upper floor. The stairs are angle front so there is no overhanging lip but instead the toe recess is created by angling the riser out at what works out to 7-8 degrees. for the tread I rip up 1-1/8" plywood and although thick since it's plywood I use a solid 2x8 riser to carry the edge. The outside stair stinger is doubled with a double stiffback added and all surfaces are glued and nailed. In all this provides an excellent base for the finish hardwood treads and risers as well as a solid backing for any intermediate railing posts that need to land on a tread.
As always, thanks for watching and I'll be back next week with at least one more part to the series before I pull off to work on other projects. There will be more parts after that but only as they happen but there is no schedule for those parts yet. Lots of interesting work coming up that I hope you will enjoy as well.
