Basement stair fabrication

Jim Tulloch made the first of three stringers for us to use as a template, and now Bob is fabricating the other two stringers.   Now that we have managed to build the walls on either side of the temporary stairs, we can prepare to hoist them out and replace them with the permanent (code compliant!) stairs.  Stairs are the sort of thing that you need to "get right the first time", so we are proceeding slowly and carefully - adjusting for the top and bottom attachment differences so that the stairs are identical in height.   There is no better tripping hazard than having one "out of line" stair height.   So far so good.
