March 23-25 Stairs Project at Linda T's

 

Mom has been asking us for over a year to help build a staircase down the hill in her backyard so she can plant a garden in the space at the bottom.

One of her neighbors down the street had it done a few years ago.  Can Jon, Mike, and Jeff pull it off?  Check back and see on March 25.

......

 

Well, they did it.  Here is the end results and a few pictures of the process.  29 Steps!!

It took about 20 hours of work and mom has already started the gardening.

Let the cutting begin

 

We all took turns with the sledgehammer to pound in the supports. 

 

Working on a high angle hill wasn't always easy
