the stairs

After finishing, when we were talking about which parts of the house turned out really well or we were most proud of, Brian said the stairs. Really? The stairs?!

These WERE a doozy. We had to pull all the nasty carpet and padding off, remove the 17 million staples and nails, scrape, sand and paint them. Brian worked from underneath downstairs and repaired most of the treads and risers from below so that they weren’t as creaky (feeling and sounding). And the stairway walls needed plaster repair and a new handrail.
