Same here bud. Making mine from scratch. This old house won't conform to clearance codes because of the descent changes over the decades. TO use a rise and run with a tread required by code I would either be crawling down the stairs or they would set up like a ladder. I am removing one riser so I can make the trade an inch deeper. This does also increase the riser overall by 1 inch but it will be safer footing. I am gong to have to dado the first step so I have more contact surface to the floor joist. Otherwise with the newer design risers I will have to scab in an additional 6 inches on the floor joist (Its only 8 inches because it is a landing area)for the minimum 3.5 inches required to anchor in. Thankfully the work is all at a 45 (45.1 actually but you can fudge .1 degrees in or even 1 degree in carpentry)work so that takes a lot out of the process.

I went to HD today to pick up the things I needed to start this evening. Should have done it in the rain Saturday like i aws going to but got lazy. Checked out and the ditz at the register screwed something up and declined my card. She had no idea what was going on and kept telling me my card was declined. It has $150 on the balance. Told me I could talk to service which was all the way down at the other end. I walked out leaving everything there. Got home and found HD had declined my card and placed a fraud alert on it with my company. So I am now sitting for over an hour trying to get a rep to pick up to reactivate the f'ing card!

WHERE DO THEY GET THESE F&&&&G MORONIC LOSERS? These stupid ass gen y and gen z groups grew up on computers and can't do simple cashier work with a system that does all the f***ng work and thinking for you! GOOD GRIEF!

Meanwhile my chronological clock keeps clicking me closer to deaths door with each waiting second that I am on hold....been 30 minutes and nothing on this fourth attempt to contact the CC company. I thought 1/4th of the fricking country was out of work!!! Why am i stuck on hold for somethign that shoudl have been resolved 25 minutes ago? I can't even go on line and resolve it.
