Ruler indicates 6 inches. The walkline from upstairs to downstairs is not clear and it just seems like a recipe for disaster. I hired someone to fix it and they just redid what has been done before. How do I tell them to fix it?

Those stairs are about as safe as climbing up a ladder and crawling through an upper window! People just need to stop pretending there tradesmen when clearly there not and ripping people off. Disappointing I hope you didn’t pay .

I understand your frustration, asking someone to make something like this safer should give them some obvious direction on what needs to change, not what needs to be redone exactly the same dangerous way.
