For the second time like.... rubschin:
So, I discovered that after 10 years of use the spiral staircase to me basement (Minema & Office) was in need of repair and refurbishment...
A couple of the steps had never been fixed properly ( eeek:) and one of the ties that hold it to the wall had broken ( eeek: eeek:)... so the plan is...
Remove all steps and replace with temporary
Refix the tie to the wall and weld to the frame
Strip the frame and re-paint
Strip the steps and re-varnish
Fit anti-slip strips to steps
Re-assemble
What could possible go wrong like...?

Good day today.... cloud9:
I *koff* obtained a length of rebar and made a new tie to connect the staircase to the wall...
Then bonded the tie into the wall with some super-strong polyurethane adhesive which you are not supposed to get on your hands.... noooo:
Then rubbed-down and re-varnished all the old treads...
Tomoz will weld the tie to the frame....
