Subject: Re: 14 JAN 21 by teebee on 2021/1/15 1:51:27 Hey guys...Up a little early and out to the shop too get some things done. A friend contacted me to build a stairway for his wife at her business. She has a storage area above a room in the back of her building that she has used as a storage area for years. But she accesses it by climbing a ladder. She is a couple years older than I, and has no business climbing a ladder hauling stuff up and down. So he convinced her to allow me to design and build the staircase. A bit of confined area and access to the room is through a door right in the middle of where the stairs needed to go. So will need to move the door opening first. With the wind blowing hard today I moved the lumber inside the shop and cut the 'stringers'. Then went down and we tore into the wall to move the door. Then hung the first stringer against the wall, built the landing then hung the outside stringer and applied the risers. Had to stop short of screwing the treads down as I didn't have the liquid nails and it was getting close to 5. Tomorrow, I will put the treads down and build a handrail.  As I mentioned it has been a very windy day, even by our standards 30-40 mph with higher gusts. With temps in the low 40s it was not a day to be outside, if you could help it. Tommy, You can do that every day on vacation...like you said, it only takes a half hour.  |
