We are officially in our living room basking in the glorious sunlight from the ginormous window previously installed. We walk around looking like ghosts with all the sunscreen we have to wear. As the song goes...."My future's so bright I gotta wear shades".
Enough bragging about no longer being vampires....
The process was quite tedious but wow...I can haul my a$$ up these stairs with toys and a baby turtle in tow and as soon as the railings are up, Baby Turtle should be old enough to haul his own toys up! Maybe by then there will even be a flotilla of baby turtles...
( Children Turtles choke here.)
We started with corral fence boards. These boards have been basking in the weather for the last ( guessing) 80+ years. We hauled them through the snow, cut them in half (lengthwise), jointed, planed, biscuit joined, glued, clamped, sanded, routed, and finally epoxied them into shape.

Mr FT and I drew up the plans for the run and rise, ordered the metal, we cut, he welded and then we assembled these bad boys into place
and magically, a new path to the upper level appears. We actually have access to the upper bedrooms again, one of which we renovated a few years back, before goats and beams.
But wait....There's more.
Part 10....coming soon!
