Instead of traditional stringers, he decides to use just these boards as the main supports, extending them by an additional two feet. This modification increases the tread depth and reduces the steepness, making the stairs safer and more comfortable to ascend and descend.

He describes the process as "super frustrating" but emphasizes perseverance. The builder even skips lunch to focus on completing the stringers and steps within the available daylight.
