I would use a long wood screw to place them, and depending on how many stairs they could be changed frequently.

Using the copper or bronze ones will prevent rot even if present as I discovered with an old boat (it was the iron nail that started the rot)

I was unable to find screws both long enough and slender enough, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist!

Ace, Lowes.HD all have them, getting 20 and not 200 lbs of them is harder but still easy.

We lived in San Jose/Santa Cruz for over 5 years. We often talked about going to the Winchester Mystery House, but never did. I didn’t realize she was that small. We just always heard the story she kept building because a “medium” told her if she ever quit, she’d die. So she built stairways to nothing, etc.

Yeah. Guilt over all the people her husband’s business had a hand in killing :frowning:

I grew up in the Bay Area close to Cupertino and the Winchester Mystery House. It sadly lost a lot of allure for me due to the location and the surrounding mini-mall next to it. The midnight tour was fun to experience.

They tore out the mini mall, and the cool domed theatres. There’s a really posh walkable living/shopping area (don’t call it a strip mall!) across the street now.

It would not be traditional but I think it would be funny to engrave them with spider webs. Permanent cob web corners.

100% I have a few friends who would love that, and a few who share @ellencadwell’s fear of spiders for whom that would be an absolute no-go!
