Come on wise guyz,
You're witty for sure,
But how do you determine the code 'walkline' on a curve stair tread run
layout?
How do you determine the angle of your stair given the rise & run?
How do you do goosenecks in a tight curve?
How do you build curve stairs without building curved walls to wrap to?

Signed,
Not a Michaelangelo but gittin after it

You guys are plumb losing your caps and nosing in the wrong business ...
this is certainly nothing to post or run on about, so be careful you don't
trip over your aprons.

No, no, NO. It is a style issue. _Shaker_, not staired.

It's interesting how this thread has dovetailed into so many other
conversations...

Gee, that's strange, none of the other threads do that.

What do you charge to swap out cheap pine treads and risers with Oak?
I am thinking half of straight run stais inclosed and half with spindles.

Ooh...you get *fudge* for building stairs, AND you get paid? Damn. If I
didn't have this high cholesterol, and that angioplasty to worry about...

I get $100 per tread and another $100 per riser, includes material.
Finished 5 sets in as many years, pick up work to match there flooring.

Genuine stair questions here, no chicken recipe this time! G

I'm in the process of installing hardwood flooring in my home. My
stairway is currently either pine or fir (I can see the back from the
basement), covered with carpet. The ends of the bottom four steps are
visible and stained. There is a railing with posts on the bottom four
steps terminating at a stub wall.

As I install the flooring, I've got several questions:

It seems to me that as I add 3/4" flooring at the top and bottom steps,
the first and last rise will be messed up. Would simply adding
flooring, as in oak treads and finish parts, over the stair treads
themselves, be a proper course of action?

On the ends of the stairs that currently show, the newel posts are
nailed in place. Would I best trim around the posts, or remove the rail
and posts and reinstall on top of the new flooring?

Other suggestions?

I do not want to replace the entire staircase.

Thanks,
Barry
