Customer was very happy with how the columns came out.
They asked me to try and match the newel post we used on the stairs.
I like them too...... about 40 hrs. of my labor to build and install the four of them.
I take a lot of pictures now because it is very likely that after next week I will never be in that house again.

Finally.....only a month overdue on this one. Looks real good after the final cleanup.

Wind was gusting to 40 mph yesterday...I knew it was just a matter of time before the porta-potty would go down. Jobsite was a real mess too...... melting snow and ice changing the ground into mud. 
We have eight more houses being framed up....but none are ready for finish work yet. Going to be another very busy year!

New construction is nice....
I am drawing and figuring how to rework some basement stairs in an old Marblehead house. Avg 10" rise with 7-7.5" runs..... Approx 70x 70" totals, which includes the winder.... No way I have code headroom.... Sucks. I figure it is close to 56 degrees currently. Cutting back the top landing 7" (accounted for in the total run) should allow me to get close to 45 degrees, I hope.
7.78" rise 9x
8.75" run 8x
That look right to you RMarsh?
Still sucks. Not gonna be cheap, especially considering limitations on what they can get out of it. But ten inch rise will kill someone eventually. Butt ugly space too.....

Our basement stairs used to be 9/7. It was like being on a ship. The drunks that did the addition before we owned the house clearly just left a hole in the floor, pulled up the ladder and did what they could. Deadly... |

That will be a big improvement Ross. In most old houses basement stairs were considered service entrances or access and not built to same standards. Check out this link ....its a calculator app that I use for triangles (stairs). Using your rise and run would give you 42 degrees. Set to side angle side with angle set to 90
