Subriser
Lay out three rough horses to the required rise and run . Cut the subrisers to the width of the rough stair and install with construction adhesive and screws .
Notch the subtreads 1 1 / 4 " deep and 6 " wide to create a false nose on the subtread . If using 2 x 12 ' s , chamfer the bottom edge of this false nose . This will keep the end grain of the false tread moulding from being exposed following installation of carpet . Install the subtreads with construction adhesive and screws .
Install the finished skirtboard on the open side of the stair . Miter cut the rise of the skirt board at 45 ° to match the false risers .
