Steps for the Deck

Not sure why it took so long for my brain to figure out the maths for the deck steps. I didn't want to have to rip any of the 2x4s down and was trying to keep as close to the 7"x11" rule of rise over run for the steps. I also had to perform some surgery on the pressure treated supports as they were bowed and made it difficult to attach anything to them. In the end I ended up gluing and fastening 2x4 supports to the sides of them (using clamps). They all cracked in half, but they at least turned out straight and with the 2x4s supports are super solid.

Getting an idea for the support structure.

Once again, wrapped in cedar to keep it pretty.
