Building Simple Stairs
For many uses, a simple, do-it-yourself staircase will work just
as well as expensive prefabricated stairs. But, stairs have to
be designed and built carefully to be safe and durable. Learn
how with this informative stair building guide by Doug Adams,
from the pages of Extreme How-To Magazine.
Extreme How-To magazine provides the latest information on
tools, techniques and home-improvement technology for the
extreme handyman. It's a comprehensive resource for today’s
do-it-yourselfer. Having the right equipment, materials and
building strategies to complete tasks is of crucial importance.
Answering this demand, Extreme How-To provides tips on
everything from adding a room, creating a patio or refinishing a
deck, to installing a window, building a retaining wall or
reconstructing a floor.
Extreme How-To sets itself apart from other home-improvement
publications not only with dynamic graphic design, but also with
an editorial focus that challenges its readers with
professional-grade projects. Their stories focus on the tough
projects often relegated to remodeling contractors but doable
