The Stairs Going To My Basement Are 36 inches Wide.. The Stringers Are Cut out... I Want To Finish The Job.. I Am going To Put On New Threads & Kick Board.. The Problem Is If It is a Problem, There Is No Room To put A Cover Board On Each Side.. I Ran A Wall On Each Side Of The Steps & There Is 37 inches Wall To Wall ,The Steps Are 36 Inches ,So I Have Room For Half Inch Drywall On Each Side.. So I Will Have To Put The Threads Tight Against The Drywall.Will It Be OK If I Screw The Stringers To The Wall & Run A 2x4 Underneath The Stringer For Support.. Would That Be OK & Cut Down On Movement & Not Rub The Drywall?. I Can Also Support The Stringer Underneath With A Couple Of Vertical Studs.. If The Cover Boards Must Go There I Would Have To Make The Steps More Narrow & I Rather Not Do That Only If I Have To.. Please Explain Where I Am Standing & My Options.. Thanking U In Advance. (I Cannot Make The Walls Wider, No Room For That.. 37 Inch Wall To Wall Is Max ).Waiting For Some Good Information.. Thanks Again.
