I got to hand cut the stringers. I measured everything out with a framing square. It was all very confusing and then it just clicked, so that’s nice.

I have never seen anyone put the cleat in the middle of the bottom step run.
I don’t see a reason why it would be bad though
Very nice stairs
It would be fewer cuts and fewer measurements if it was right out at the end. So quicker and easier. I’m used to using a depth gauge and combo square and I like to throw in a bit of “le fine woodworking” when I play carpenter 🤠
FYI, you fucked your stingers up, that notch made your throat whatever that cut depth is, and the square notch is a place for the stinger to split.
You put it at the front (ahead of minimum throat) or lay your stairs on it.
Okay right that makes sense. Thank you
If you’re in a fair weather place it may be fine, you can also screw a board on the inside of the stringer to double it up.
Inspection could fail if there’s one.
Affects throat depth and the square cut is a split point. If the front of the stinger by riser gets loaded, those stairs are done.
But if the whole weight of the bottom run is flat/supported it should not matter that much.
I see your point though, they shouldn’t have done it.
I live where there is frost, it’s shifting no matter how well you did the base. It’s unlikely to be a problem, especially with how small it is. But it’s also fixable with screwing a board on the inside like a double stinger.
Even melting snow can refreeze and put pressure on the front, since that could be the only place melting.
