HANDYMAN’S CORNER
Bach, Wanganui: In absence of details ns to the type of installation, I cannot help you. The fluid referred to is unknown to me. ERECTING A STAIRCASE “D.A.R.” writes: I wish to erect some short iron circular stairs in my house to replace a rather steep existing staircase. The total rise is only 4ft. 4Jin., so there would only need to be six treads with 7Bn. risers, to each, as the lauding would form the bottom step, and the floor above would, of course, be last. Space Is rather restricted. Do you think the scheme is feasible? [Unless there is some good reason, not evident, for making the stairs in iron, I should say that a stair built to a central newel in oak or some other serviceable timber would be more domestic” and more comfortable in use, as well as considerably cheaper. Iron stairs arc cheap only when stock patterns or considerable repetition can be employed.!
