Project Information

This was a job from hell. We milled everything from scratch, including spindles. There were 3 seperate staircases. 2 to the basment, and one upstairs. 1 long balcony rail upstairs, and 2 short run rails going downstairs. Me fabricated the false treads to allow for a carpet runner and cut all the tread brackets out of solid 1/4 oak. We also added the tile/wood effect on every landing to tie in with the tile work we did in the foyer and basement walkout.

Eagle,

The staircases look beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that it was not a "job from hell" because you lost money, but only that it was so intricate.

Once again, it looks beautiful.

The guy still owes me 3000.00 These were the worst customers I ever worked for. I was even warned about them prior to beginning. Live and learn though.

You're right about that Rex. File a lien if it's not too late. If it is, bluff with a letter of intent. I have heard many horror stories about guys who have worked on atty's houses. They get about 80% of their money because the atty knows it isn't worth the time and trouble to go after the balance due.

Outstanding work here… great attention to the smaller details… Even though it was a job from hell, you obviously have an eye for details and can sit back and enjoy the final product…
Very beautiful….

Get your cash quickly, the longer the delay the less likely they will pay. Great looking project.
