Building steps

The metal fold down steps on the 5th-wheel have a 9.5 inch rise, almost 2 inches more than a normal step. Very difficult to reach the door handle while balancing precariously on a tiny platform and then step back down to open the door. At least for short people like me.

I wanted a set of nice wooden steps, so Mike measured and drew up plans.

Then we went to the lumber store.

Within a few hours of sawing and screwing (get your mind out of the gutter)…

Building a fence

Last month Berta bought 700 pieces of irregular slab wood, cut on one side and naturally curved on the other. It’s beetle-kill pine so the bark fell off by itself and there’s awesome worm trails that look like hieroglyphics.

So, we’re building a fence. Actually there’s already a small fence so we’re just adding to it.

That’s Berta

Had fun picking the lengths and putting them in the desired order. Then took turns on each side of the fence screwing on the boards.

Ran out of screws and then out of light.

I like it!
