Stair challenge

stair plan

The stairs have presented a few challenges along the way, the final one being how to make the awkward bit, near "X" on the plan, safe. 

 

The rules are pretty clear; any spot with a drop of 1 metre or more requires a rail.  We didn't have a problem with that - but we wanted the space for displaying space of our junk and a rail like the others wouldn't lend itself to that.

 

Hand rail is 100yr old pine and
balusters are copper plumbing pipe.
