Today's project - fix pull down attic stairs
Yuk!
Lid had to be removed. It was a real pain to put back on.
Had a split on the stair runner under the top set around the hinge. Glued and put 4 screws in it.
One step had to be screwed in place with 4 screws.
Tightened all nuts. Got rid of some stove nuts and replaced with fender washers, lockwashers and hex nuts.
Put white grease on all moving parts.
Made stairs a lot less rickety by putting screws on the ends of the stairs, so the stairs rests on the screws. That's the reason for the split. The load was not on the end of the stair runners, but rather on the hinge and lid.
A real PITA. I need a strip of weatherstripping.
