Staircase

With the lounge room finished, and temperatures below zero until lunchtime every day this week, the builders have been happy to start on the other internal job: the staircase. This job will remove some very unprofessional work that remains from previous owners. There is a low voltini above the stairs that was built at a 45 degree angle. It seems heavy above us as we climb the stairs and it is cracked. I have visions of it falling on our heads. The stairs themselves were put in about 50 years ago and are difficult to keep clean due to ugly edges into the rock. They also stop any light entering the dining room and cellar and halt any sense of space or flow in the house. We decided that an new atrium style voltini and an open wood staircase would solve all of these problems. I am about to upload several posts dedicated to this project...
