I took this past week off to burn up some annual leave and took the opportunity to rebuild the stairs in my car port. The old ones were riddled with termites. I built the whole thing with pressure treated lumber. Stairs proved to be quite a challenge to build but even having a few remaining details left they are square and robust. Whew, it sure was a lot of work and demolishing the old ones was a nightmare. They used a combination of nails and staples and there was no ryme or reason to how they went together. The only answer was large hammers and crow bars. I'm amazed I didn't injure myself. I really enjoyed using my new Festool power tools and I'm looking forward to rebuilding my cabinets among other things in the coming months.
