Loft access at last

Parts and pieces
Before pic of empty space


Everyone's in on the action


Sure, this is exactly how the pros do it


Another ladder?  Sure, why not?


Dark outside - but we must finish!


Victory climb


Hey, it's still standing the next day - not bad!
We're nothing if not ambitious... So one auspicious Sunday we undertook the building of the spiral stair kit, just R and I! And by golly, we did it!

Check out the precarious multiple ladder/stacks of books/boxes support system we constructed to hold various points of the stair until it could get connected to the top ledge. I was definitely part of this mission, but spent much of the time holding said contraption.

Finally, we can claim the loft space -- once we deal with the mass of boxes waiting for us up there.

Note the guillotine -- I mean ceiling fan -- at the top. A little 3D planning mistake. Yep, that'll have to come down.
