thanks jack, but i wife's looking for full on stair rods.

I've stripped my stair case back to wood and stained it. I'm putting a runner down it and my wife wants stair rods. Stair rods? ok fine, go to a shop and the stair rods we like are solid, made to measure and also £40 each. Now, I can afford to pay for them but my question is: what's the...

I have this pine wood staircase that i intend on staining to a mahogany colour. what is that type of pine? it's got a very deep coloured grain.

thats not the top kit, besides which I can find the one you just linked too, for £20 cheaper. In any event, i'm not here to tell you how cheap I got it for, even though you wont find it cheaper than I bought mine for. I'm just saying, i got one. I cut some 10mm ply like a knife through...

where foxhole? links and show me for the full kit.

I got the FMM250Q with all those extra blades and sanding disks for £181 from the FFX show bluewater. Going to be using it today to fix on of my cracked stair tread and then to sand the varnish off of the stringer.

i'm sorting out my hallway at the moment, so interested in what you did and how it turned out.

I'm going to go with walnut. a year on how does it look?

exactly, which is why i have to move it. I uncovered it when i pulled the carpet off the stairs. So, I think i could cut it unthread it and then crimp it or choc box it with something like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/chocbox/54936

I've managed to trace it. It's a spur that feeds a single GU10 bulb in my kitchen (i think it was added to light up the fridge).

under the tread is goes behind the plaster board down behind the consumer unit. it'd be a bitch to try and replace. After the riser, i have no idea where it goes. plus i think its just 1mm cable

I have a mains cable poking through one of my stair treads and then into the riser. why is was done this way is anyones guess as there is easy access behind the stairs. Trouble is I can not just strip out the wire and replace. Can I clip the wire and then reconnect behind the step with a...

i concur doctor. not fair to the next people. think about what jesus said, "do unto others as you would have done unto you.". get in!

i've read a lot of positive reviews on this stuff, yours is the first negative review.

i used a heat gun on all my olde worlde architraves. Brilliant job, sanded them afterwards to get rid of nobbly bits. Nitromors is utterly useless. I did however, buy some Starchem Synstrip to get the paint off my stairs. I will let you know how that goes. it's supposed to be $h!t hot.

I know this is going to take ages to do but i'd like to make my stairs look like this picture below: I think the handrail has been varnished a mahogany colour and the balustrades are an ebony colour. Tomorrow I'd like to stair preparing the stairs. It currently has a varnish on it...
