I just realized - oh my goodness - I never did finish the story of the stairs........
.... when we moved into the condo, we had carpeted stairs with oak railing. Well, recently Poppa pulled off all the carpet and then pulled off all the underlay and then.....
... Munchie and Poppa pulled out all the staples (there were a LOT!) left behind after the underlay came off. Then.....
.... this skilled carpenter came in and took off the railing, then....
............ he worked and he worked over a period of three days....
..... he re-capped all the stairs with oak treads, added some oak trimwork and replaced the bannister. When he left....
.......... the stairs looked like this - except of course, the bannister was back in place as well. Poppa spent one day staining, followed by three days putting a finish coat on them, and....
.......... here they are!! We all think they are lovely. No, they are not slippery at all..........
... they are much more attractive - all the way up!
