Yeah anything will be an improvement over what I have now, maybe I'll try to find some stairs around town to walk...

cool idea but no wall to do that. I am considering cutting each rise back at an angle to gain ~1" on each tread, it would give more space walking up the stairs but wouldnt help much walking down the stairs.

Not sure I understand what you are asking, basement floor to the bottom of the joists measures 7ft (84") 102" length is from the start of the stairs (top) to the floor joist - actually I took off an extra 5" so my last step is not right at the joist. 102"/12 treads = 8.5"

lol, my gilfriend said lets do 12 steps for that reason :)

Yeah I know how the angle is determined... thats how I got the rise/run numbers listed. I have 102" overall length and 96.5" of rise. So with either 12 or 13 steps I get the numbers listed above (top landing being last step) Any input on which is the better choice?

Just wanting to get some other opinions for stair rise/run. I am in the planning stages of lengthening my steep basement stairs and finishing two rooms in the basement. Here is the situation, current rise/run of the staircase is 9.65"/8.22"... yes thats almost 1.5" more rise than run for each...
