Freestanding staircase

Ever think of installing a freestanding stair.  These stairs, with self supporting stringers, require no additional support beneath.  I spent the better part of yesterday installing a couple of them in the Kerrisdale area of Vancouver, BC.  Take a look at some of the pics and imagine how difficult it can be to load a truck, bring said truck within reachable distance of the house, carry 19 rise stair into the house (with the help of several other men), prop the stair into place, and securely fasten it with screws and PL400 glue.  It is beautiful, not inexpensive, but worth the money.  sterday I installed plywood stairs but have done them in a variety of exotic woods, including maple, walnut, fir, oak, mahogany, cherry, etc.
