rec.woodworking the following:
I need to replace a set of steps that have a rise of 25" and a width
of 53".

The stairs land on a sloped concrete carport and the slope across the
53" is 2 inches.

How do I approach this?

The current stairs have 3 steps and then a small step to the porch.
Totally unacceptable and dangerous.

Thanks for any advice.

Make any risers supports come out even. Better to have four
"short" steps, or three "long" ones.

If the steps are not able to meet the concrete "square" (that is
there is a slope left to right as you face the stairs), you might want
to just put a landing on the concrete and work to that.


Either the first step will not have an even rise or the platform will not
have an even rise.

What's the point of the platform?
