Barman's All New Spiral Staircase-a-thon Thread
« on: April 12, 2014, 10:35:10 AM »
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...?

I think Nick was talking about trading you in for a younger model rather than getting LL a vacuum cleaner  rubschin:
