Ok so maybe Stair Apprentice is better title at this stage.
Here's the most detailed plan to date of the new stairs we plan to install this weekend between 1st and 2nd floors. Other than cleat manufacturing and delivery of stringer and tread material, the stairs are still on the proverbial drawing board, ie Microsoft Paint. Need to track down fasteners pronto; all instincts say find a better supplier than Home Depot.
Bit nerve-wracking really. Unlike when we tore out the bathroom wall, removing old stairs puts a lot of pressure on getting new stairs in place as soon as possible. I'm tempted to mount the cleats before installing the stringers, but I also fear that particular recipe for disaster. No, I think I'll just have to take it one step at a time. (Pun intended I tell you!)
