Wow - today was just a gorgeous day - felt like spring!  We're supposed to get rain tomorrow but today was just a wonderful sign of things to come!  Notice in the picture below that today is the first day of the year that Jim has his ball hat on instead of a warm hat!

Jim worked this morning on finishing up the steel fascia backing on the side - so the stairwell is all finished. 

The corners came out really nice too - this picture shows the clip that Jim put at the top to hold everything in place.  Jim is happy with the way this worked out so he ordered more of this angle - he got a call that it should be in tomorrow.

After that job was finished, Jim moved to starting work on the door frame.  This door has to be done a little different because he needs to make sure that no water gets in this door.

He put the brackets up on top that the frame fits into...

After lunch, we switched gears again.  Jim wanted to finish up the landings now that we have the right screws.  So while he was finishing some door frame work, I got the landing all marked for where he needed to first drill and then put the screw in.  Jim wants this landing to be really solid so he's putting the screws in every 6".

He got about half of the upper landing done and he wanted to get the other landing going.  So he cut the last piece of decking material...

...and then put it into place on the landing.  Then I got that landing all marked.

 

We had to cut the day a little short - Jim had another doctor appointment in the late afternoon.  After that, we went into Lowe's to pick up a few receptacles.

 

High 70/Low 53 - beautiful!
