About stairs. with the history of the project

Why is the history of... and everything is very simple. This ladder I made friends and did for two years, so the story, and a long one.

I was invited to take the stairs, even when the house were only walls. There was no roof, floor, doors and windows. While at a friend persuaded me was the opportunity to make payments and to help purchase the material on the stairs. Then these materials lying in my studio waiting in the wings.

The staircase was generally uncomplicated - one turn and a long march. The problem was the place of installation: the long march had to be installed between the wall and the columns with the smallest possible gap. And in order to correctly calculate all, it can not do without the project.

With this arrangement, all the long march was collected on the spot is necessary. On the other to put the ladder did not succeed. I had to break a head, how to make it better and eventually came to the decision to make grooves in the bowstrings with access to the lower edge, to be able to retract the stairs and risers in the slots as the sliding boxes.

About device for milling grooves like I wrote in this article. There you can see how to work with this device and download the drawings.

When it came to setting time, accurate calculations paid off, all sizes converged unnecessary gaps are not formed, the stairs also get how to height.

Sets the ladder in a pair with the customer - my friends. Although I offered to bet, when they are finished with walls and columns, so as not to ugvazdat then the ladder at the finish, but the circumstances so complex that it had to put the finishing of the walls.

Angle collected separately and put in place. Then installed and secured both bowstring long march and began to set step. Everything worked perfectly. It was possible to put the balusters and railings, and then the familiar recalls that a large bed 2 by 2 meters left on the ground floor, and if it does not pick up in the second, then his wife took to drink.

With the mattress we have passed, since he bends. And when I tried to push orthopedic base, it did not have enough height and turning angle. This frame 2x2 did not want to go.

Twenty minutes spit - not lezet :-) "Let's take rest" - I say. Look, be sad, my wife says... Raising is necessary, and is almost ready to disassemble the stairs, oh, how you do not want. I go, I see how you can solve the problem. See the gap between the column and the bowstring stairs quite decent (for the project I left margin at the finish). I checked out a tape measure - will take place. Pleased man that opportunity, he immediately perked we raised bed base between the columns and stairs. (Thickness orthopedic base about 4 cm and the gap was about 5 cm)

After that, quietly took up fencing on the ladder. It turned out pretty well.
