Materials Arrives for Basement Stairs

 

We decided to re-tread the basement stairs with solid red oak to be consistent with upstairs.  We used to go to open houses years ago for ideas, and one thing that always jarred us was rooms that were completely different styles from each other in the same house (ex: colonial rooms, but a European modern kitchen).  Our main floor stairs are solid red oak, so thus the consistency.  We now have the materials acclimating to the house's temperature and humidity and installation should be in the next few weeks.
