2One last comment about the stairs before we start climbing them. They started building from the top. Really. In this picture you can see stairs starting at the top floor, leading to a landing, and … that’s all they got. There are just a few 2x4s and a strap holding the landing up.
The plumber said in 20 years he had never seen such a thing.

Do you run up the ladder, then absail down? I guess the contractor will be testing the stairs out before you do? BTW, I love the front door.

At least they won’t need to worry about the stairs meeting up in the right place at the top!
