Finished redoing the staircase, slapped the handrails on and moved all the materials around to the front of the house. Finished the shingles on the gazebo yesterday, waiting on Evan to finish making the cupola to get it mounted and finish the roof. Started on the the step at the back of the gazebo, once that’s built and secured we lay floor, finish handrails and fascia on the ramp and gazebo, and we’re pretty much done until the thing gets wired (not my job on this one lol)

PS, my trusty ol’ reliable Kobalt 35ft tape measure is dying on me. Done got a tear at the 3” mark and it’s already drawn blood like twice. I’ve had that thing for something like 5 or 6 years, if not more. Kobalt no longer has the same model, so I just ordered a Hart “Pro Grade” for $20 and we’ll see how it does. Working for my old boss we used 25ft Stanley FatMax (which seems to be everybody’s go to) and I was unimpressed, I seemed to burn one of them up per year. Anyway, sad that I had a tape I liked and that lasted more than a year and now I’m having to do something different. Hopefully this hart won’t be a bummer.
