Taking 30+-year-old carpet off the stairs was interesting...they had glued the carpet to the stair treads! So that is what was flying down on everything in the closet when the kids were trampling down the stairs! Dad made a nice diversion...maybe we should leave it there...it would make a great slippery slide for Halle, Cole, William and Andrew! You should see us going up and down walking on each side of the stringers. This will be a job, but has to be done and quick!!!
When we took the carpet off there was no kind of finished edge between the stairs and wall. After a few failed attempts, dad finally cut a template that worked! He did an awesome job...working in a house with so many imperfections i.e. crooked walls, slightly unlevel areas, etc. is no easy job!
A good portion of the risers are in place and now I need to caulk all the gaps and paint them...staining the treads today...stay tuned...they're going to be awesome!
