This weekends project.

DW and I were getting a little tired of the 9" step to the upper level in the Copper Canyon. So this weekend we ripped out the old single 9" hi step and replaced with two 6" steps (18" total between levels). We also increased the area of vinyl flooring.





This is the only picture of the old step I have!

    That wider lower step is a good idea, nice job.

    Thanks all for the complements.

    It is true the lower tread is 11-1/2" and the top is 10", but the total unit is 20" deep, the top tread over hangs the lower by 1-1/2". DW wife didn't like the 9" single step, and now we will use the space under for shoe storage. :)

    Where did you get your edge glued ( oak ? ) step material ?
    Did you just buy wooden stair treads already bullnosed with the radius corner ?
