Reminds me of the time I slipped in my sock feet at the top of the stairs and sort of skied all the way to the bottom, with the soles of my feet skidding across the nose of each tread and my hands over my head. Landed on my feet in the kitchen and didn't touch a thing with my hands all the way down or at the bottom. My feet hurt though, and my heart went bumpety-bump for a while.

Yeah, but you still have to get them out of the basement.

You have a pretty good pic of challenging stairs for a drunk on your home page!

What I want to know is... what is that handrail going to look like whien he gets the CO. I think he's going to have to bend it around the transition.

That is unbelievable Kenton.
I'd be curious as to how they now plan on anchoring the Newel posts and handrails.

How dumb is that! The homeowner must have a deathwish.

Hope they have a coffee brewer in the bedroom.
