Hello:
I have been building a home (a lodge-style) now for about 2
years...without going to the bank for any help...it's a very slow
process that way but very satisfying. At this point I am planning the
stairs going to the loft. I am looking for information help...people,
books, plans, anything. I know there is a lot of information out
there about building stairs but... What makes these so different is
that I have recovered some older Cedar fence posts (about 70 of them)
which measure 6" X 6" x 8'. I ran them through my planer after
cleaning them up ( Nails, brackets, etc) and they are absolutely
beautiful. So I've decide to reuse them for the steps and posts to the
loft. How do I begin this project? Is there anyone out there who has
undertaken such? Thanks in advance for the help.
Welcome, spanky.
I cleaned up your post, I don't know why it posted that way.
But anyhow. I assume you'll need your stairs to meet code?
I have a pdf about standard stair information, but it is too large to attach to my post here.
If you'd like a copy, either post that you want one or send me an email via regular email and I'll email it back to you.
