Building the stairs

The extension with the bedroom (and our current living/kitchen/bath/toilet room) is at a different height to the main house so we needs steps down in to it. It was hard to design and make them at this point as we are not sure to within a few centimeters the height of the floor in the main house. Doug came up with a design which hopefully that won't matter as they don't go up to the very top and there can be a little difference in final floor height and it be fine.

In progress - it was a lot of work to get to here as there are some mortise and tenon joints between the two types of wood which were quite a fiddle for Doug to do.

This is him working on those joints

All ready but not finished or stuck together

You can see it will be much easier and safer getting in and out of the bedroom!

Nearly there... just a bit more paint needed...
