Agreed, I'm convinced. By the time the finished flooring is
installed, it'll be more like 1.5" difference. A definite 'tripper'.
I'm still thinking about that landing idea though...in which case I've
got a lot more to worry about than building a couple of stringers.

Best to redo the stringers. *The math and layout involved are not that
bad - check out a carpentry book and read up on it.


The math isn't my concern...it's my skill with a saw!
