I found a great program that takes all the frustration out of designing the stairs; number of steps, pattern of the risers, etc. It only cost about $12, but it is well worth the investment if you are planning on doing the work yourself. I went online and did a search and ended up here: www.Shalla.Net The guy is great, very responsive to any questions I had, and the program worked like a charm. You're wondering why would someone pay for an Excel spreadsheet, but if you have ever done the stairs yourself, then you know that it's a small amount of money for what you get.

No, I do not get a cut or know the guy other than from buying his product, but when I see something great, I want to share it.
