After a dozen years of construction, there finally is a set of stairs at Wingsprings! It goes from the walkway in front of the west cabin up to the lower deck. In the first two photos below you can see how we poured a small concrete pad on Wednesday for one of the stringers to sit on. The bottom picture shows Corey adjusting one of the “feet” on the bottom of the stringers on Friday. There are two under each stringer and they keep the wood from being in contact with the concrete, and therefore with water and snow. And in the photo above, he is fastening one of the final treads onto the stringers. Since they are in place, it is now handy to get to the lower deck. Next we have to build stairs to the upper deck–hopefully this coming week and not another 12 years from now.
