Well, things are starting to come together, painting the family room, kitchen, hall, & stairway. Floors are here, but are going to have to wait a little.

We had a guy out to quote an Oak staircase. It is a straight staircase, with the bottom 5-6 treads exposed on one side. Currently it is carpet.

Oak treads, pine? toekick, new sideboards, bannister & railing. Also nosing trim at the top. Total $3,500 +/- (he is working on the formal quote). Is this in the ballpark? 2-4 day job. It seems awfully expensive. I'm thinking of doing it myself, am I insane?
