If it were my stairs, I would have regular oak treads put down and then have an inexpensive runner tacked into place to protect the treads and provide better footing. 

I am waiting for a list that includes, Sacramento/ Arden, Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Orangevale and Citrus Heights.

I have two large oak trees on a property of mine that are in need of a trimming.

As we are balancing a young, growing family and career, life is busy and crazy at times, but we are anxious to get started in REI, in one form or another.To avoid staying on the sidelines for too long, we are steadily chipping away at our "to-dos" to get started.

KITCHEN:  (1) Oak Cabinets, (2) Lowes Laminate Countertop (Item 352060), (3) Bone tile throughout Kitchen & Dining room, (4) Black appliances, (5) Black double sink. 

The M1 chips are some of best battery life and performance you'll anywhere and the higher-priced MacBook Pros just saw a major update in 2021.
