Hi
My first post on these forums, hope someone can give me a bit of guidance...
We're partway through a selfbuild project, and all our staircase parts have just been delivered. At the moment they are stacked up in one of the rooms and looking mightily confusing.
The house is 3 storey, and has one stairwell from top to bottom.
The two staircases are half-turn-with-landing affairs - ie you walk up a few steps, turn 180º on a landing, then another few steps up to the next floor.
I've never fitted staircases before, so am after a bit of guidance.
Ideally:
1) Rough order of fitting - where do I start and what order do I work in ?
2) What sorts of fixings should I be using, to attach to walls and joists ?
3) Any other fixings or bits'n'pieces I should be armed with before I get started ?
Any advice at all would be great...
