| I don't know how
many times someone e-mails me, with a problem, they didn't plan for.
They bought the book, Simplified Stair Building and had the best
intentions, but ran into a problem, a big problem and never finished
their stairway.
Now would be a good time to figure out if you have the mental or
physical desire to build your stairs. If you're 170 years old,
overweight, have unpredictable medical conditions or a negative mental
attitude that will prevent you from building your stairs, "Then Stop."
Medical problems and physical disabilities could create construction
difficulties and lead to frustration. Trust me, there is going to be
enough frustration, building anything, even if your in the best mental
and physical shape of your life.
Here's Some Questions I've Received Over The Years.
1. Do You Think My Husband Can Build a Set of Stairs?
Don't plan on someone else building your stairs, if they don't want to.
This individual wanted me to convince their husband that they could
build a set of stairs, but it didn't take me long, to realize that her
husband had no interest in working on the weekends or any other time
that he wasn't at work.
2. Can I Build A Stairway, With Only A Hammer And Drill?
You probably could, but it's going to be difficult, because you're also
going to need some nails, lumber and even a measuring tape would help
considerably. If you don't have any tools or only a few tools, then it
would be extremely difficult to build a set of stairs. Try to find
someone who does have some tools that you could borrow, or plan on
purchasing a few, before getting started.
Can You Build It? If You Want to, Yes, You Will Find a Way.
