Rip out treads and replace with unfinished to stain?
Is this current wood useable i.e. sand down, round the nose of the treads, etc etc?
I am researching codes and etc to make sure that we do not violate the building codes for our staircase. We have installed all of the flooring throughout the home ourselves, ripped down and put up new walls, etc, so we are not novice DIYers. Has anyone done this yourself?
