Agreed, I'm convinced. *By the time the finished flooring is

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

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

Heh I learned from a respected engineer this that applies to cutting
two stringers:

"It is a simple project to make one thing alike. The problem is
making two things alike" . I lay out one, cut it and then use that
as a pattern for the second. The sawing is not a "millimeter
accuracy" thing - close will do.
