On Sunday we replaced our attic stairs. It took all afternoon because, as you can see in the picture, these aren’t those fold-up stairs. The stairs were broken when we looked at the house 8 years ago and they’ve been a pain in the arse the whole time we’ve owned the house. The door panel was held closed with a bent over nail and it was really difficult for me to pull the stairs down and then push them back into the attic without standing on a chair.
It seems so silly but we’re both thrilled that our new stairs work. The only bummer was after we finished the install I had us gather ’round our DIY list that we’re had since we moved in to cross the attic stairs off. The stairs were never on the list. Kind of a let down…but the stairs are cool.
