yeah don't sand it. it'll be a pain, and it's garbage wood underneath. the red oak tread you've found is much better quality.

I would do what you're suggesting. just make sure the height of that 2x2 is ABOVE the nose of the tread cover you're going to put on. I feel like it would be... but confirm before you get to it

you have joists 12" apart? I feel there's no way. are you sure that's not just strapping for drywall or something?

Reply to help me re-wire my outlet/switch properly by kraizy420
my best guess is the issue isn't actually in the switch or the outlet. you'll need to check out other outlets on the circuit to see if any of them are wired funky. even if they're operating, it does not mean they're correct.

Reply to comment by Lumpyyyyy in [Ari Meirov] The NFL competition committee is expected to have discussions about the third QB rule, which would allow teams to have an emergency QB in uniform (a 47th active player) on gamedays, in case of a worst case scenario situation (like the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game). by IrwinRSchyster1
they aren't exactly average Joe's. the Zamboni driver played hockey at a high level, just not professionally. any backup QB would be a decent QB, just not a professional player.

the vapor barrier and the studs by that vapor barrier look a little suspect. but I'm judging based on two pictures without much detail.

I doubt there is any leak. that would show through the ceiling in time. you mentioned there is no insulation on the exterior wall there. so that's what is causing possible mold growth --- condensation from cold air meeting warm air in this space.

caulk?
for nicer cuts, measure tight. you don't have to cut square if walls aren't square. put a slight bevel on the edges (so the underside of the board is slightly smaller than the top side). this will let you slip tight boards into place, and the undercut side sits on supports so that "gap" will not be seen.

if you have a scrap 2x2/x3/x4, you could see how it might look.
my other thought would be to use a multi tool and the height of your tread/riser to score a line along the stringer. then a small, sharp chisel to knock it out cleanly. though I'm pretty sure that would be more work and not look any better...
