America, but they would be ugly to start with, so it would not matter. I don't know why we have to make everything ugly here.

I love the worn treads, I remember in school seeing them and feeling profoundly unimportant. Not to mention quite like I was living on the edge- they're not very stable once worn!

However, irregular steps can be so dangerous that they are one of the few old items I would update if the choice were up to me. (Same goes with the hazardous triangular "winders" in spiral staircases--worn or not!)<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
