Put handrail on staircase using existing newel post and replace 3 weatherboards.
Balustrading & Handrails
Mount Albert, Auckland
When my 1930s bungalow had an upstairs added in 1989, the staircase never got a handrail. Now I want to rent the house so the first 8 steps need a handrail that meets current building code. I found the original, never used, newel post (9cms square, H 1170) in the attic, which can hopefully be used. Also, 3 weatherboards need to be replaced at the back of the house and the corners left neat.
