I have had bad experiences with stairs that are pitched too steep. If you move into an older house with stairs like this, my first recommendation is to either replace them or add some sort of non-skip guard to them to prevent tripping down them. Trust me, they can be a hazard, I know from experience!

Dave, Brandy here saying hi..looks like you guys are busy as are we. Gabe is tearing apart our sunroom this week for a complete remodel so we’ll have to take some pictures of the progress. It feels so good to discover these “hidden treasures” our older homes sometimes reveal. On another note, another BIG Lueders boy on the way! Pretty soon we’ll have our hands more than full.

We recently moved to a new house and had the same issue in the stairs in our basement. They were pitched too steep so we had to get creative on how to redo it. Fortunately we worked with an architect and they noticed we could push the side of our house out to accommodate for the new slope. Fortunately, the part we pushed out is under part of the house that extends out anyway so it looks fine.
