Besides that, the riser heights and tread depths should be uniform. Old rule of thumb for stairs was 7" rise with a 10" tread depth. Older people can't lift their feet as high tending to walk with a shuffle plus they need a deeper tread such as 12" or so which is more stable when you can put your entire foot onto a tread. If you can't get your full heel on a tread some can tip over backwards. So if I'm doing stairs for something like a deck using 6" dimensional lumber which measures 5 1/2" I may go with a riser of 5 1/2" and then leave a gap between two boards and at the back to get a tread depth of around 12" +-.
Of course ladders are different but the higher the rise it increases the need for something to hang onto. An old submarine sailor like Old doesn't even need steps to go down a ladder.
The way things are going, they will probably start putting little elevators or handicap lifts & ramps to get on a tractor or combine.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
