    Stair Nose Transition

    tks..actually the stock bullnose is about 1 inch wider. I cut it instead of the plank. I can cut the plank back 1 inch and leave the bull nose as is. That will make it a bit more stable on the edge.

    Stair Nose Transition

    Ha, your a funny man Re: Silicone; To hold the floor down or fill a gap? I think your right aboutthe transition...even if I got to to match up, that edge of the floor will not be held down and will always be squishy.

    Stair Nose Transition

    Hi, I've been playing with it today. Have it pretty matched up, but due to the fact that it's a floating floor, the edge that is next to the bull nose is that is not locked it and slightly rises just a bit. Just enough to not match the bull nose in a few spots. Any suggestions? I know you...

    Stair Nose Transition

    Hi, Tks for the reply. It's the board behind the riser that is too high. It's looks like a 2 x 8 nailed to the stairs. It goes from being flush to about 1/8" on the other side you can't see. I don't own a router. Maybe hand sanding will be enough to take some of the edge and stain...

    Stair Nose Transition

    Hi, Looking for some advice how to handle my stair nose transition on last step to floor. A couple of things. 1. There is a height difference between the floor and the piece of wood I called "Part of stair". The difference varies along the entire width of the floor. I suppose I could shim...

    @havasu Although I've made some wedges and they look ok, that is really what I want to do. Are you saying make a new skirt board with the 1/4 sheet? Can you provide a bit more detail. It's the rounded nose piece and the deisgn under the tread that's the challenge? Thank you

    Stair caps

    @highup , Thank you for the suggestions. I did stain an extra tread before making the cuts. I've made a couple wedges. I used a dremel to sand them to get them to fit as best as possible. I used a bit of the matching color wood putting to press in between the edges. They don't look bad. I...

    tks..I'll give it a try. What is a technique to get the correct angle? Measure the width of the widest part and then??? Do you think trying to scribe a new skirt to cover the gap would be a huge challenge? The wedges would be easier? Just trying to close some of the large gaps. Thank you

    Stair caps

    Hi, My project is complete..thanks to all the help here. I'm happy with the outcome excpet for one aspect. Because the skirt was not flat or warped, my limited skills and the limitations of my equipment, you can see the gap near skirt. I'm looking for suggestions of what I can do to fill and...

    Stair caps

    Hi..another question. I see there are white risers that are either 3/8 thick or 3/4. Is there a reason to use one thickness over the other? Thank you

    The gap is very small...much less than a 1/16" I just thought you would fill any visable gap with something so there is no gap visable at all. (like you do with caulk..but not using caulk). Thank you

    Stair caps

    Hi, I'm replacing the carpet on my stairs with new hardwood stair treads. Two questions: 1. Is there a preference to remove the old stair tread (pines under the carpet) or just place the new one over it. I know I need to cut the nose off the old tread if I keep it. 2. I have a gage to...

    Hi, Planning out my project. In the picture, I plan to leave as carpet for now, will put new floor later. I assume the last riser (question #1) should match the others on the stairs. What is done (question #2) to transition from carpet on top floor to first riser? Thank you

    First few rows;

    All done with my second room. Thank you very much @Tile Tom and @C.J. for taking the time to answer all my questions. All answers were very helpful. The only part not finished is the QR against the fireplace. A few of the bricks sit slightly "proud" of the others resulting in the QR not...

    Hi, Back again..looking for suggestions for around the fireplace. I've seen undercutting or quarter round or other? I think undercutting would be a lot for me..but I'm not sure. I do have a 4 inch grinder. If quarter round, does it get glued with constrction adhesive. Thank you
