    Stair stringer protruding at ground level

    if its a concrete floor it will be pretty bomb proof and as long as you have say 50mm off the string solidly on the floor my main concern would be creaking rather than failure as only the end off the string will compress and move at all rather than interaction between floor and string giving to...

    Stair stringer protruding at ground level

    if you draw a strait line from the bottom off the string, it finishes about the red line so you need the extra bit to support the string edge beyond the red line thats why its there assuming the newel post doesn't extend to the floor to take the weight you will need to support the string with...

    Multitool Blade for Floorboards?

    as an aside many a blade can look fine but be blunt with great care and gentle varying pressure on non-aggressive blades [not highly ground pointy ones] you can feel the teeth grip the ridges on your fingertips with the more they grip with light pressure the sharper they are only talking 1-2mm...

    Nailgun

    ok no expert on nails i have a ryobi 18 [50mm]and 16 gauge [65mm]and they are brilliant at pull out resistance for the size on cladding but the head will pull though long before the nail shank looses grip so i wouldnt trust on studs but could be wrong with longer nails ??
