november 12th

Another short day trip. Weather was nice and we ended up in the mid-50's. Took time to rake leaves out front and play with woodstove.

Anyways, the stairs had a bit of a out-of-square issue that needed to be addresed. We ended up adding a 2x4 "shim" to one side to bring the top into square. WOW really off. There was also a problem at the bottom as the floor drops off 1/4inch on one side.

Dealing with that kept the stringers from being cut which would have messed up the stairs. Everything in the picture is held together with 2 long woodscrews currently, do not walk on the steps!!!

Next trip we need to trim the risers and start the glue and screw.

Told the neighbors work crew I do not like their idea of dumping their leaves into my front yard especially since I just raked my yard. A "gran torino" moment.
