Hi all,
I've got 7 steps in my concrete-floor basement leading to a landing. Now I'm adding a subfloor with a height of 1.25". Stair stringers will now rest on top of the subfloor. Which is the best option?
1) Do nothing, (top step height reduced by 1.25") 2) Cut 1.25" off the bottom of the stringers (bottom step height reduced by 1.25") 3) Cut 0.75" off the bottom of the stringers (0.75" reduction on top/ bottom step) 4) Build new stringers, adjusting each by 3/16" 5) ??I'm slightly loathe to do #4, given my construction skills and the relatively easy 'fixes' proposed in #1-3. Thoughts?
