I'm in the process of finishing the basement and only have the stairs left as far as framing.
What do you think, rework the stringers that are here or tear them down and rebuild them? They will remain open and have a railing running along the landing and down the stairs. My main concern is how the original framers basically nailed the stringers into the plywood (see image st4) and the outside stringer should be flush with the outside wall which should have had the 2x4's 45'd under the stringer.
