So... Since Im into the whole hardwood flooring thing, and since ALL the carpet left in my house is the ORIGINAL carpet...we all know .. IT NEEDS TO GO! So over a year ago I had pulled back the carpet from the top stair... it looked to be plywood so I covered it back up and had counted on replacing all the risers and treads with new maple flooring. I had looked online and consulted with Pam to consult with her contractor to ask numerous questions about replacing an existing staircase with new hardwood risers and treads. So Im not sure what made me uncover the COMPLETE tread...but when I did, its actually a complete piece of wood. Not maple, but NOT plywood either.... so the girls helped me take off the tack strips and the carpet staples. I couldn't believe that maybe I won't have to try to shell out the $1000 it was going to take just to complete the treads alone. So add that to the other 100 projects that need to be done BEFORE I can put the house on the market..but WOW what a difference it will make.
