Day 242 - New Stairs



I know they don't *look* very different but they have all been updated. Thanks to the underfloor heating we put in upstairs the whole upstairs floor level is 20-30mm higher than it was which meant the stairs finished with a bigger last step up. This isn't allowed by building controls, our brains do complicated things with steps and get confused if steps are uneven so we've had to have them all changed so each step has the same rise.

We're also now replacing the seventies style banisters and rails. Originally we'd planned to keep them, I quite liked their retro styling, but they just look out of place now everything else has been updated so I've ordered some oak stop chamfer style ones to replace them.
