Staircase 1.0.
Really painful. The 90 degree turn at the bottom made the movers say lots of naughty words. I had to take down the old handrail just to get our king size bed upstairs....
Took a section of wall out, added some support beams, and sent the stairway into the living room.
To make the handrail hit the center of the support beam I made the wall wider.
Wall done, beam wrapped with decorative work.
Painted everything, including the living room.
Skirts attached.
Went with white oak treads. They stained up better (I really dislike red oak), really durable, and were much cheaper than other woods. The 2nd to last tread has to wrap into the beam, so it took a little work with the skill saw.
