After some serious sanding and finishing work before it left my house, the staircase is finally in!
This took some calculating to get just right as the house has no flooring, and I have to build and install this behemoth so that the rise of each step is perfect. Once the flooring is installed, the top landing will be exactly the same as the bottom landing, and there will be no tripping.
So many staircases I inspect have a high step at the top landing because people install layers of flooring upon old layers, and this increases the height of the last step at the top. This can be a tripping hazard, and I add this to my inspection reports when I find this situation.
Staircases are not easy, not light, and not very mobile, but today it found a new home. -Ray
