Most of the guys here put cleats on top of the stringers. A 3/4" thick stringer with a 1/4" dado would require a half inch to get to the sole. Where is gets tricky is shimming cleats up or down to fit. Another way to do it would be to cleat two boards, no dado on each side. This would be less a lift (zero).Service Call wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 10:24 am stringers measure out okay. Looking at plans am i correct that the stringer should come up to the bottom of the sole?
Wait for Mertens to reply. He is probably on hurricane work.
