Advanced Stair Stringer Layout Methods

If you're interested in advancing your skills as a professional stair designer and builder or maybe even a do-it-yourselfer who's having a difficult time figuring out how to connect the bottom or top of a stair stringer to a platform or landing, then I have some good news, you finally found the book you're looking for. Inside you will learn how to attach a stair stringer to joist, beams and ledgers. You'll even learn how to create hanging ledgers out of plywood. You will also learn how to make the necessary modifications when dealing with different treads and risers thicknesses. This is a common problem and usually occurs when a stairway connects to a floor or landing that uses different sized floor sheathing. I've built over 1000 stairways and can tell you from experience that laying out the stair stringer correctly, with a solid understanding of what you're doing is the most important part of building an exceptional stairway. This book should be and hopefully will be in the future, standard reading for architects, building designers, structural engineers and home builders.
