| Soon after we installed the new bamboo floor it was time to do something about the stairs as well. We bought bamboo plywood (plyboo) for the treads and regular (oak) plywood for the risers. There is no new tile floor here yet, only an old cut-to-shape black jute rug to cover the old. |

The fresh new bamboo steps in place. I think this photo was snapped right after the
treads were clear coated (see the tape on the edge of each riser.)

 |
| We changed this color later but this pix shows the risers stained in a walnut color. Today their color is "Bombay Mahogany" which happens to be the color of our trims and doors inside the house. |
 |
| Here those "Bombay Mahogany" baseboards can be seen. I can't tell for sure but I think here the risers are already mahogany in color as well. |
 |
| Tile work done. Thank you, DG! I am not sure why we took this pix but it seems someone was getting ready for a snowboarding weekend... |
 |
| No railing yet here, but finally the house started to look cleaner. This image needs to be placed next to the one I took soon after we moved in when we had all kinds of tools here by the entrance door. On that old photo one can also see the crazy shiny wallpaper on the downstairs wall (here the wall had already been painted white, actually "tortilla"). |
