Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I found your stair calculator incredibly useful.
My wife and I designed and built a set of stairs for my parents, as their existing stairs were not up to code, and had been badly built.
In any event, this was our first set of stairs that we’ve ever built and it’s no easy task for a first timer.
I found it so useful to be able to tinker around with potential ideal rises and runs, tread thickness, riser, thicknesses, and nosings and see how it would impact our final product.
The end result was honestly fantastic. The stairs are about 1 million times more sturdy than the pre-existing ones and my parents are so incredibly impressed and grateful.
I’ve attached some pictures of the project and the final result!
Thank you!
