Thats what I would do if ductwork would be an issue, however duct work only takes about 12 inches.

Never nail on the sides and one inch from the top.  

The plumber fixes the pipe wrongly, and now the front hose hookup sticks out of the house by six inches and sprays water everywhere.  

The window I purchased was in stock at HD and it was ever so slightly short on the sides. by about 1/4 inch too short.

They'll be stuck in a mortar bed that'll be like taking up several inches of concrete.

We then put supports in about every 13-24 inches so that it ended up looking like a checkerboard.

I would love to get some approximate numbers on respectable costs for this type of work.I manage a 40 unit property in Connecticut and our snow removal bill for this past snowstorm of 15 inches was $1,500 dollars!

My wife and I currently reside in Fort Myers, FL where I work full-time as a consultant at an IT research and advisory company and she is a first grade teacher.We recently moved from Greenville, NC in July of last year for my job and are loving every square inch of Florida!  

They also were not up on the latest building codes and so I ended up having to do a lot of things twice example, they installed a new hot water heater but did not put an expansion valve on it and did not know the new code was for the heater to be 18 inches off the ground if in a basement.

If stairs will be covered and it diesnt matter cosmetically, you can cut offending tread out several inches away from spindles, glue and screw a 6" wide plywood scab under the joint, and install new tread. 3" of the scab will go under existing piece of tread and new tread will sit atop the other 3".
