How should I do my steps?
Non carpenter here and I’m needing to put some steps on the deck I built. I bought some precut stringers but I’m not sure how I should install them. If I use the stringers as is, my top step would be level with the rest of the deck. Which I know isn’t bad but it looks a little funky and it’s harder to do a railing(which I’m not doing any time soon even though code says I do). If I cut the stringer down a step then the first step off the deck would be higher than the rest. Here’s a picture I took of a very rough mock up. I have 4 stringers total. https://imgur.com/a/yCMf3zC
