More steps!

Yes, the shed now has steps.  It wasn’t a huge project, but it was done in sweltering heat so I invested a lot of “sweat equity.”  I am pretty happy with how they turned out because (1) I didn’t screw up any cuts and waste some material and (2) they are solid.  Stepping on them feels like stepping on concrete.

I did make a couple of minor mistakes.  For no good reason, I decided to use screws to attach the cosmetic strip at the top and, no surprise, the screws split the thin strip of wood.  I will eventually replace the strip and this time use finishing nails, as any halfway competent carpenter would do.  I also painted the stringers brown initially and didn’t like the result, so I redid them in white.  But no screwups on the things that mattered.

Got ’em done just in time, too – the electrician is arriving today.

I now have an entrance “alley” that I think looks pretty attractive.
