When I walked in this morning I saw Lou, my contractor, standing on the third step, his head inches from the support beam in the ceiling. That means the clearance is bad, and there's no way that would pass inspection. After trying to figure out what the hell went wrong, we realized that the run of each step was 11 inches, rather than 9 inches. That added an extra two feet to the whole length of the stairs. See where the diagram says unit run? That's what I'm talking about.
So what's the fix? I called up Peter, the ironworker. He came over to look. The whole thing will have to be disassembled and re-welded with the 9 inch run, rather than the 11 inch run.
Nothing goes smoothly.
