I'm in the process of rebuilding my stairs. They were showing their age and some of the joints were getting weak. And they were 1980's oak with not so white balusters. I got all the old stuff ripped out last night and got three of the posts set and some of the base plates cut to size. I should be able to get the rest of the posts and the handrails done tonight then paint, stain, and start cutting and installing the new balusters next week, all 65 of them.
I'm going with a dark Mahogany stain and wrought iron balusters. After the stairs are done, the house is getting repainted with darker walls and white trim. I'm going to be a busy bee for a while! I got the baby's room mostly done over the last few weeks. Everything was repainted and a new closet system installed.
