When My son Val got his surgery he
had several months off work to recover. Before going back to the
ironworkers I suggested that he maybe could help me rebuild the front
stairs. He took to this job with great passion.
Here are the old stairs. they were built about
35 years ago and were in bad shape.
We began by ripping up all the steps. We took the
lower stringers and copied them then put in new risers on each step.
The next thing was to replace the first landing and build
new stringers for the second set of steps. We again copied the
stringers using the old ones. the new trex required additional
reinforcement behind the risers.
The final stairs looked really good but then we began
working on the railing. The second and third landing required additional
bracing. Once we fabed all the rail we got to mount it.
