Default Stair Calculator

Just found this http://www.ez-stairs.com/stair_calcu...ted/index.html
which seems to offer an easy way to calculate the spacing for stairs, could
be handy for deck building, not sure if it would work inside.

The Imperial measures suggest it's designed for the US building code.
The UK building regs do set several restrictions, so a read of the
relevant approved doc (Protection from falling) is pretty much
essential.

Nothing new about that Dave, I've got exactly the same information in a
number of *British* joinery books dating back to the beginnings of the 20th
century (that's where the Yanks originally got it from anyway) - oh, and
that diagram can be used for "inside" work btw. Shows how much you know!

But you do need a full stop, exclamation or question mark.
