We're in the shop here today showing you an alternating-tread staircase that's' going to a job-site in Napa tomorrow. I'm standing on the landing which is at exactly mid-floor level. It's going into one one these 100-year-old houses with a steep roof and lots of attic space. The homeowner called me last month saying he wants to access this large attic area with something better than a ladder. He didn't have room for a conventional stair but this alternating-tread space-saving stair was a perfect fit. It's all Red Oak which matches the hardwood floors throughout the house. Once these are installed at the site we'll put a handrail on top of the stringers on the open side. I'll tell you a little about the alternating-tread staircases. It's built in a way that is nearly as easy to climb as a conventional stair. When we walk up a convectional stairway we normally use half of the stair tread at a time, placing one foot on the right half and the next foot on the left half. The idea of an alternating-tread stair is make half of each tread wide enough for your foot and then alternate the wide end of these paddle-shape treads from left to right. You still have your 10 inch minimum tread depth plus a 1 inch nosing projection. This give you 11" of support for each foot, just like a conventional stair. We normally make the risers a max of 7-3/4", but code allows us to go as high as 9 inches. This one is 7-3/4" which is very comfortable. We installed a metal bar across the middle of each open-riser to limit the open space to less than a 4 inch gap. Anyway, I just wanted to give you a quick shot of this. Tomorrow morning we get to go to the job-site and install this. I'd can't wait to see the look on the customer's face when we have this installed. I'll let him do the bragging :-) Last but not least, I'd like to give glory to God and special recognition to a Jewish carpenter named Jesus. I don't know for sure if He built stairways as a carpenter, but I am happy to say that He is my LORD and I want to live my whole life for Him. God bless you! And please contact me if you want any type of custom stairs. Clyde 520-895-2060 or 916-991-9700

Organize Don't Agonize Headquarters - I had so much decorating my home office! After measuring each area and space planning, I set out to find everything I wanted to create a fun and functional office for my business! I took down my sliding closet doors to have easier access to the closets and added these curtains from Target! I picked up lots of bins and boxes from Kmart, Ikea and Walmart for storage throughout the office. From Walmart.com, I bought a narrow bookshelf at to house my printer and printing supplies plus another great shelving unit that I keep colorful bins in for storing items. I added shelving from Lowes above my desk area and purchased the white leather futon and fur ottomans from Overstock.com! My little white TV I found on Amazon.com! Accessories come from, where else, but of course, Homegoods! I budget shopped for all the great items in this room at: #homegoods, #walmart, #amazon, #overstock, #michaels #ikea #target #kmart I know pink isn't everyone's color, but his office just cheers me up! ... www.facbook.com/organizedontagonize ... www.organizedontagonize.com
