Scottpat Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I found this on a 1950's home yesterday. I have never seen a counterbalanced pull down stair like this. The two cylinders are full of concrete. Download Attachment: IMG_2975.JPG 124.76 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthomas1 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 With those counterweights ya' almost gotta' ask: concrete stairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have seen them before. They, counter-weights, were the first use of "SonoTubes" I ever saw. Usually the plaster guy filled them on-site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 See them all the time. I love 'em. They're the nicest pulldown stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I've never seen attic steps like that. I think they are really cool! Probably alot less rickety then the one's I usually see. Don't forget that after the war of Northern aggression the South had more chimneys than houses!. Interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
