What happens here
Repeat the process of installing stringers for the entire width of the staircase. For each subsequent stringer, position it parallel to the previously installed one, ensuring consistent spacing according to local building codes and deck design specifications. Secure the top of the stringer to the deck frame and the bottom support block to the ground-level ledger board using the cordless impact driver and exterior-grade wood screws. Maintain proper alignment and ensure each stringer is plumb and level as it is installed.
Goal: Complete the installation of all stair stringers
