Hi All,
Simple question. We need to replace the steps on our basement stairs. The stringers are fine, but since we're going to wall in the stairs we need the steps to be flush with the stringers, and they overhang an inch on each side.
Rather than pull off and cut the existing stairs, we'd like to cut new ones. The existing ones are very old, warped and just all around nasty looking.
I'm wanting a nice, firm, strong wood that will stand up to humidity (basement) and can be stained to look nice.
