I want to remove the Spindles on the landing and replace with either glass or a solid wall. The problem i have is the upper newel post is offset to the landing handrail to will stick out in the finished design so i want to cut if off at floor level.
I understand from the few staircases i fitted many years ago that the string is morticed into the post and the post housed over the trimmer joist. If i cut this off at the base, do i have the chance of the stairs falling as i use to screw the strings into the walls as well.
I should really at a photo to explain, i'll do this later
