Anyone ever do this your self?

I want to add a padded carpet to the center of my stairs.

This is not a hard process and can be done with just a handful of
"special" tools. I installed mine a couple of years back and had it
done in under 2 hours. I started at the bottom and worked my way up
as that seems the most logical way to go. The key tool that I used
was my pneumatic stapler with 3/4" staples. Keep it tight by stapling
the carpet where the riser meets the bottom of the tread and then
where the back of the tread meets the bottom of the next riser and so
on. I am just a DIY'r, but everyone comments how nice the stairs
looks. If you have the inclination, air compressor and a pneumatic
stapler, go for it.
