Hello Master Lee,
I am posting 2 photos of different types of stairs. Please advice if my step counting is correct or incorrect.
For the first photo (stairs 1), I am counting it as 3 steps - landing - 7 steps. Is that correct or incorrect? In this case, both 3 steps and 7 steps are inauspicious. HOWEVER, I am wondering if I should count it as 10 steps altogether then it makes the stairs auspicious? Which is which?
For the second photos (stairs 2a and 2b). I count the stairs as step 1 + 10 steps. I count is as such because 1 step is all black granite material and thus it is a separate count from the 10 steps which is all wood. Is my counting correct or incorrect? In this case, step 1 is auspicious + 10 steps auspicious. HOWEVER, if I count them altogther as 11 steps then the stairs become inauspicious, right? So which is the correct count?
Thank you for your input.

1. In my opinion, it seems like there are a total of 10 steps.
