Finishing touches
Good afternoon @Spackle48
I am floored at the amount of work that you have done, so worth it but wow that is some hard yacka.
Love the steps but the thing that caught my eye was your drawings 
So well thought out and they match what you have installed!
Were you surprised that what you drew is what you have? I always forget my drawings as the project unfolds. then later on when facebook memories remind me I look at the drawing and go "no way"! It matches. Shifting out the old stuff and only acessing it via that ladder would have been painful.
Worth every effort!
