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 )
September 6, 20233 yr What's the plan for banister/handrail? Or are you getting Stanna in for a stairlift?
September 7, 20233 yr 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. 🤣

But I wanted that installed later as I have “ work to do “ on the stairwell I.e the glass if installed would be in the way Edited September 7, 20233 yr by Pocster

February 7, 20242 yr You mean glass - as in walk-on-glass stairs? Oh fer fooetyfook's sake man, don't you ever learn? 😂
February 7, 20242 yr Author A small piece of glass has been cut wrong so can’t fit that and the rest of the handrails …
February 7, 20242 yr Author 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 .

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 !!

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!
