There’s a steel frame on the far side ( between tiled wall and stairs . They are effectively cantilevered . But each box rests on the previous so ultimately the ‘strain’ is taken from the big bottom step ( has a good chunk of timber and steel in it ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jimbo Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Now you are going to have to cover them up, to stop them getting damaged. Nobody is going to see them again for several years. 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 A small piece of glass has been cut wrong so can’t fit that and the rest of the handrails … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 It was clearly far more work to install than anticipated. Original estimation was 3 days ( that’s what it took just to get it to the state of ‘basic’ staircase ) . Last 3 days they’ve realised it all needs adjusting again ! . So will be back for half a day at the end of feb . Total install time 7.5 days . Tbf - it looks like a bitch to install . The treads effectively are floating off the steel - and rest on the one beneath . Adjust one , adjust them all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think they stall the job on purpose as they get all the tea they can drink , a pasty and cake everyday .

What’s not to like !! it's just frustrating though, right? e.g. I fitted our Quooker tap at the weekend. got the boiling water working but there was an issue with the Cube so the chilled and fizzy water wasn't working. now a job that I wanted to tick off as finished is awaiting replacement parts to be able to be finished. it's just frustrating that it's incomplete. that's all. I know it'll be done eventually but I can't cross it off the list yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
