Most carpenters who frame houses know what a
drywall spacer is, but for those of you who don't, it's time for a
lesson in house framing.
If you're not going to install a skirt board which is another item that
can run the length of the stairway bottom, simply add a 3/4" piece of
scrap building materials onto the side of the stair stringer that's
going to go up against a wall that's going to get drywalled.
Things like these save drywaller's a lot of trouble. If this drywall
spacer wasn't installed correctly, the drywaller would need to
individually cut around each stair step and this is an extremely
difficult task for anyone.
