Stair install

No crane pictures from today as it all happened early but as promised the stairs were hung.   

 

The heavy upper section is hung and braced at the middle wall

Here are some photos of how we will leave the stairs until the finishing stage. Purchasing these stairs early in the job is a good way to avoid the frustration of temporary sets that never work well and unsafe ladders.  All of the remaining trades can now work efficiently and safely. 

 

 

Lowers just set in place.

Looking down. The basement stairs should go in next and the stairwell can be used to access the lower level.  This is good because we have basement groundwork to do soon.
