And too close to the nosing area, and over time if cheaper timber, i have seen loads start to split!!!
(damned sparkies....
but hey, you help keep us i work...LOL!!!!)
no closer than 40mm to a tread or nosing or to edge of stringer.... and its a safe spread.... basically you have to think along the lines of drilling joists etc....
in Parts of Canada, there was/is a set spec, a bit like the "Zones" in a bathroom... Zone 1 a complete NO NO.. etc etc ...
common sense really!!!
