New Stairs!!

Our old stairs had some good cracks running along the whole width of some of the treads, they were painted a glorious Red, and were squeakier then a dog with a chew toy.

All we really wanted to change was the treads. As Dan started to pull them up, they weren't coming without a fight.

The railing had to go, plus we wanted another railing on the right side as well. at this point, the stairs were either completely coming out, or we sand off the RED and somehow un-crack the wood. So out they come.

Now that we can't get upstairs, and Dan works full time along with DanTek jobs on the side. Walking outside with a lantern to go upstairs to shower in the morning was getting old fast (insert picture of frozen half naked human sneaking into house via the porch HERE).

That's when we enlisted Dean (Awesome) Hickenlooper's services. Instead of 1 month of, maybe I have time to put a single stair in. Dean flew in to the rescue.

This picture is about few hours of Deans Masterpiece in action.

Didn't think there could be so many pictures of stairs did you? The skelton steps have emerged, muwahaha.

Now we can get upstairs, YAY. We did do some of the work. Like all the sanding, staining, painting and putting on Polyurethane. We had some time to help, and lets face it, we didn't have the money for Dean to do it all.

Its starting to come together now.

Just some finishing touches.

Here is the finished product, and it took Dean about 15 hours to complete. Great job. It was worth it. Bonnie has some great taste. We cant wait to have a completed home.

Though I hear it's impossible to have a home that's completely done.
