The Making & Process of Installing of the Exterior Stairs

 So this is the story of the stairs which were a necessity, but also one of three requirements by the              inspector before he would give us our full occupancy.

First, the men had to bring the stair parts on a barge, borrowed from Marty next door, from the boat launch to our place.

They had to unload piece by heavy piece!

And lug each piece up very carefully!

These were such heavy pieces-several hundred pounds each!

After getting the pieces there, the first piece is attached to the deck with huge bolts!

Then the other side railing is attached.  Each step takes quite a bit of time!

After getting the center on, they start with the first step tred!

They even powder coated the screw bolts that hold the treds down!

They worked till dark that day, then had to come back the next day to finish.  They were hoping to finish in the one day.  It took most of the next day to finish!

But doesn't it look nice and no maintenance is the best of all!!! It is done for the family reunion! It is so nice to be able to go down these stairs to the water!  YEAH!!!!
