My Dad had some wet pressure treated wood. The stairs were
supposed to be about 7 feet tall, and they made em out of
wet PT wood. When the wood dried, it shrank. Finally the
contractors couldn't understand the problem. Dad took the
shrunken stairs, and took em to the contractor, in a paper
grocery bag. Set em on the desk and pointed to em.

Yeah, let the wood dry first.

As the lumber dries, it shrinks. Sometimes a lot. Bear that
in mind inasmuch
as your 8' staircase may only reach seven feet in a month or
two.
