nice to see it in photos. :)

I wonder if there are any changes in the 2006 or later IRC versions? ???

Thanks for the link.

I was a little surprised to see that 9.5" rise is OK for a spiral. I might have rethought my loft stair design with that info. Oh well. c*

Fortunately in NY, the code allows for treads as short as 9" and risers as tall as 8 1/4"

This is real useful for a cabin where there isn't a lot of room.

It still really bugs me that codes aren't online, since everybody needs them if they are going to plan or build. stairways.org is doing a service here.

We have a link to some online codes. It is...

http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=6224.0

This is a sticky topic under "Referral Links"

I'm going to close this topic and direct everyone over there in order to simplify things related to codes.

Anyone with other links to any sort of codes are welcome to add them there.
