We completed the stairs for the most part the night before.  Needed to get a photo in daylight.
Yes, we do intend to replace the treads with P/T lumber.. we just didn’t have any.  We also thought about painting the untreated lumber we used, but decided against it.

Later in the day, after the choosing and purchasing of the flowers, a planting takes place.

The designer, builder and flower picker !

This was quite a it of fun to work together and get something done on this house.  Yay us !
