Hi

I have written (free) online stair and roof calculators you may find useful.

They draw a plan of the stairs and roof, so you can see the layout

Stairs

http://www.blocklayer.com/Stairs/StairsEng.aspx

Roof

http://www.blocklayer.com/Roof/RoofEng.aspx

There is also a dovetail template generator here

http://www.blocklayer.com/Woodjoints/DovetailEng.aspx

Enter the dimensions of the wood, and tail setout and it draws the template, ready to print, fold over end of wood and cut through

Any feedback with alterations, additions or suggestions appreciated

Very nice Blocklayer, I did something similar with a stair chart on this page: http://decks-ca.com/Deck_Stairs_how_to_build_stairs.html

When I get back to finishing that site I'll have to put a link to your generator, looks like a lot of work... thanks!
