A busy few days making a stair. Lots of routing to make the string housings, treads and risers, then a over hundred wedges. Assembly went fairly smoothly but the installation was a pig. Although it's only made from pine and only 73cm wide its still pretty heavy. The hole in the floor is a few cm wider than the stair, but the odd protruding rock, the newel post and other irritations made it impossible to get into place from below. After getting it wedged in the wrong place a rethink was necessary.
We got it free then dragged the whole stir up onto the first floor, then tried to install from above. Eventually after getting it stuck a second time, I reach for the hammer and bolster. Some stones were trimmed and numerous blows with "the persuader" aka a big mallet and the stair finally dropped into place.
Too coats of varnish before bed and we finally have easy access to the first floor.
