I hate that coat tree sitting right by the front door. The first thing that greets people.

As for rebuilding your stairs versus adding to the existing steps I'm sure it has to do with building codes...there are codes about the height and depth of stairs that need to be followed to prevent falling..believ it or not the smallest discrepancy tends to cause tripping!Diva Kreszlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278102837785791249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-2738711897516693512009-09-14T10:39:02.541-04:002009-09-14T10:39:02.541-04:00So pretty!

They look great! What he did say though was that the stairs were built incorrectly and should be rebuilt but he wasn't going through all that. The top step on both sets of stairs is 1" higher than the rest.<br /><br />A little excitement for Spotty! Good for him. And I'm so glad he's an indoor kitty : )<br /><br />SharonA New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.com
