    Take a cross section of stairway, no gap should be wider than 4" ANYWHERE within the hand or guard rail system. Even the narrow taper on spindles must not be wider than 4".

  2. Dennis I often get work with the same method. Last fall a business friend gave me a hand scratched floor plan of a 14,000 sq ft addition and asked what could be done with roofs. 2 hrs later I had design work contract and 2 weeks later I signed contract to build it. Adding another 8,000 sq ft starting next week.
