stairs in my house

[yukon cornelius]

I told my wife I would build them so there was no need to keep asking me every year  ;D so after having a ladder to get upstairs for 2 years I finally built them. now for the railing....

  Sorry for the crooked picture but I cant get it rotated.

Thanks for sharing.

You are a get-r-done guy Larry.  Two years only makes them more appreciated and almost makes you a hero.    Almost. :D :D

Nice stairs.

Nice job. Can't wait to see the railings. How many years will they take?  :D

We're the steps just the thicker section of tapered slabs or did you cut thick slabs on purpose just for the steps? Either way, I like it! Slabs are really an under-utilized building material.

Jake, the steps were 8"ish half logs. i cut the logs in half and i barely skimmed/milled off the back side so i could have a straight edge to cut them square on the ends. as soon as i finished i thought about how nice it would have been to use slabs and then put a slide out drawer under each step with a log face. a bit of hidden storage. I agree about the slabs being under used in building.

 Those are nice, have you decided what your doing for the railings yet  ???

The railing will be cedar log and cedar spindles. What I haven't decided is to bolt the post to the sides or tenon them in the stair stringers.
