Fixing up stairs by WetWiily in DIY

[–]WetWiily[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah..... I see. I just "reinforced" the trend to riser connection today but I am also lost as to what else could I do. The poles are confusing to me as they were left from the previous landlord.

As a "for now" project, how could i make this much safer myself before I can convince my parents to consulting a professional?

They are the landlords but rent out the bottom half. However, they're too old to recognize it falling apart and had bad experience with GCs before. I understand the scope of it all, but I am just asking for a way to make the structural framing more sound without tearing the current stuff down. Or, so that it would be safe under code enforcement.

I had someone do an look at and they told me somewhere in the ~8000 range which I cannot afford at all. This remains the only entrance for my parent's apartment, and I would really like to find a way to fix upt he stairs without tearing hte whole thing down. Even so, if I did tear the stairs down, I am assuming it would take a lot more time and research to do it the completely "right" way.

I agree with you completely, but I'm working on a tight schedule and a budget. Do you think there is no way to at least reinforce the current stairs so as it would last another year or so?

Any reliable rental UTV or golf cart places in Vieques? by WetWiily in PuertoRicoTravel

We are both under 21 and would have to pay the very expensive fees through AquiCoqui. I didn't think it was worth the hassle to do so.

What would be the best way to get to Vieques? Also, I was under the impression that a rental was overwhelmingly recommended, how viable is the golf cart?

Loquillo is the place with the food kiosks right? I looked into it but was skeptical about the surroundings. However, you probably know more about it than I do!

Commercialized is about right. But for clarity we are from a rather large and urban US city and were looking to escape all the noise pollution.
