I did find a site, that will take the measurements and calculate how to cut the stringers for the stairs one wants to build...I even printed the "plan" out...
Attachment 408337
This lays out the cuts for the stringers....I'll need to "fudge" things a bit...top of deck is 18" above the ground....calculator will only go down to 20"...hmm inches, divide by 4....instead of 5" rise, I'll set a 4-1/2" rise....for two "old people" with bad knees...The site also makes a plan for the finished steps..

Top step will be flush with the decking....will place handrails on both sides of the steps, and match them into the railings around the deck...
Might take a week to get this done..allowing for the weather...April in Ohio, ya know :rolleyes:
Stay tuned...Lumber arrives Monday morning...work start as so as the truck is unloaded...Pictures as I go?
