Re: This morning's hand rail
John,
That's not the main stair is it?
That handrail is more 'fireman's pole' at the station house than a 'handrail'.

Re: This morning's hand rail
John, was that house a trinity? I've seen similar handrails in those spiral staircases.

Re: This morning's hand rail
This spiral staircase has a similar pole. This was in a 70's A-frame house. Roof starts at ground level.
Sounds like the camera on a pole might have been helpful on that inspection. I use a cheap Fuji camera that has a 10 sec timer, or you can shoot a little video, pole out the window.

Re: This morning's hand rail
I tell people to look it as the "glass is half full" - It's not a bad staircase.... it's a REALLY nice ladder

Re: This morning's hand rail
I'd hate to be the one trying to move furniture in or out of that upper level. I guess that's where knock-down furniture comes in. Just no couches or box-spring matresses.
