Stairs
Pleased to say that the stairs are now in, which changes the whole feel of the building - makes it start to feel like somewhere that may one day be habitable. Although I miss clambering up and down a ladder.
they started off as a pile of bits of wood (this is just some of them):
Then took shape:
They take up much less space in the main room than I thought they would and consequently dominate the room less, which is good. Looking at the first of the three pictures, I thought they’d extend a foot further to the right - that they don’t is by far preferable. I also thought that they’d cut across the ventilation slit higher up and so cover up the bottom of the slit - like this the lines are far nicer.
The quality of the wood and finish is as good as I hoped - all in all very happy with them. But then they have cost the same price as a (very) small car…
Perhaps things are moving on … we’ll get there!
