Stairs

Randy and Courtney are in the process of buying a home in Blackfoot.  They were supposed to close on March 26th, but it got delayed another week.  Randy got word on Tuesday that there needed to  be some stairs with a hand rail put in by the sliding glass doors. If they wanted to close next week, the stairs needed to be installed on Wednesday. Randy had to work, but Blake didn't. They were just going to buy some from a manufactured home store, but Wednesday morning Blake got the idea to build some and make them big enough to fit their grill.  He planned to use the wood from our fence. He called my dad, and the two of them started the project.

First, they took apart the fence, and decided there was not enough usable wood, so made a trip to Lowes and got more wood. Then they built the frame.

Then they attached the hand rails and cut the planks for the platform and stairs.

Blake had to move the 4 wheelers to get to trailer, so he just plowed up the mess.

Randy Chambers showed up and helped Blake load the stairs onto the trailer. 

Made it to the house. They are buying the yellow one.

Randy and Blake carried it all the way around the house.

This is the door that needs the stairs.

Looks like it will fit pretty good.

They dug the dirt out of the way so it would be level, and put the braces in.

More prep work  so they can lay the platform boards on.

Now the platform and the stairs.  It turned out pretty nice!  It is going to be a nice little deck. They didn't secure the boards on yet, because there's still more work needed underneath them. But, it was good enough to take a picture, so Randy could send it to the loan officer.

These are the pictures he sent it.  It looks all finished! It must have worked because he got word that they should be able to close next Tuesday! Thanks Dad for all your hard work, and Randy Chambers for the heavy lifting help!
