This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Thats what these guys are for:
Somehow Lowe's only has these things in pressure-treated lumber. So I made my own for my stairs in my basement using regular lumber. And then my basement flooded.
Well, yeah. Generally you’d want pressure treated for a basement because they should be resting and fastened directly to the concrete anyway, which would require pressure rated to meet code. Even if your basement didn’t flood, the bottom of the stringer would have rotted away because concrete wicks moisture.
There’s virtually never a time you’d want to use non-pressure treated lumber to build stringers, except above grade transitions. In which case, cutting them yourself is also stupid easy.
