Twelve Foot Stairs

I don't just get to do fine work.  Often I do fill in jobs, and just about the only thing I use, is the mighty worm drive Skilsaw.
 Because the homeowners wanted the treads to be made of deck boards, I decided to just place the stringers on 16" centres, so there wasn't any bounce.  I used Fir for the stringers, for strength.
 I did this job just down the street from my place.  The stairs aren't comfortable for walking up and down, but they are great for sitting on, and holding planters.  Its just what they wanted, so it's just what they got!
I notched out the bottom of the stringers, to fit over a 2"x3" I shot onto the footing with the Hilti gun.
