Stairs
« on: August 26, 2012, 08:15:10 PM »
It has begun...

Ugly stairs before.



Here is the inspiration for our new stairs.



This is why the stairs look stupid, there is a support beam in the way.



They over came that in the next house they built by adding extra steps at the bottom and moving the entryway over.





Tear down begins.



He is going to get the stairs exactly where they go before he tears down the wall.



He has to build up the small landing to accommodate the extra stairs at the bottom. The landing will be split into two stairs.





The two stairs on the landing will be split diagonally.




The pony wall is gone on the right side of the stairs.



All of the carpet is coming up in the hallway upstairs and the same wood floor as downstairs is going up there.



This picture really shows the difference in height from the the original stairs.



I will update this as we go.

BEG, put some damn shoes on.  Barefeet and nails are a bad combo, even with a current tetanus shot, which I hope you have.   :mad:

I think the stairs are going to look fabulous.  What is happening to that rounded landing up at the top?  Are you going to modify that too?

Problem #1 they looked like apartment/cheap house stairs

Problem #2 the balcony (or what ever it's called) should be open

Problem #3 carpet on the stairs. The carpet was already matted and I vacuumed it regularly. Wrong type of carpet for stairs.

Problem #4 I want stairs like the picture I posted, I get what I want.

It's so tiny. In China, a small foot on a woman is considered very attractive. So much so that the Chinese developed a practice of foot binding. I wonder if we could apply that practice to libs heads ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
