Facelifting carpeted "construction stairs"? (new title, old thread)

[xpc]

For anyone else brave enough to try this with me...

That is the correct way of doing it but thought cutting those stringers may cause you some problems. If I were you I'd just carpet the steps.
How many steps do you have?

Thanks, but no thanks, according to the ups driver everything is still at eye level.

We need photographic proof of that.



OK,I'll go back to my smoker thread now.

Using a miter saw is so easy even a dog can do it.
Diesel Dog is helping me with some window trim, notice how he keeps his ears safely tucked back. Just a reminder to keep any floppy things out of the way.

I haven't seen her on today.

Sally, do you still have all of your appendages? Including the eye level ones? Nothing got chopped off?

I'm all here BB. I'm glad you are so concerned about my appendages and all.

Xpc, there are already stringers on the stairs, thank goodness. I do need to borrow your dog and your miter saw though for the rest.

Carpet hua? I just pulled all the nasty carpet up. I think I would rather have unfinished stairs than carpeted stairs. My kid and dogs are just too slobbery for carpet.

SKR8PN, well, nevermind...

Oh yes of course Sally.

I should have come to visit this week to help you with your stairs! Although if it was just me I'd say to lay some plywood over it and make a ramp.
