I think I would take a closer look and make sure it doesn't need a core? If it hasn't been done there is a high chance it needs it. If you can see signs of it already being done or know the history, maybe. I was on the fence with getting into mine and thought I probably could get a couple years out of mine first, but when I got in there it was way worse then I thought it was. Mine was partially redone once and some plywood was added instead of core in the back and an extra set of plywood was added to the inside and the outside of the stringers. That would be a good sign that someone had the floor off and did some structural work under there. How thick do the stringers look? If you don't have to core and it hasn't already been done, it would be very rare. Bill
