They mean making sure each step is the same height above the previous. Like if your first step is 7” high, then all steps should be 7”. Not a 7” step, then a 10” step, then a 5” step, etc.

There’s some math involved to figure out the riser height given a certain distance from the upper landing, and it all depends on how much space you have, what code says for a landing, what the minimum tread depth can be, etc.

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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
