Cut to fit

The day started with Brian adding some additional strength to the frame he’d made for the staircase. He did this by screwing in some further cross beams, just to give more support.

He could then start adding the planks of tongue and groove onto the frame. Because we are not blocking in the area under the stairs, he needs to cut every other board to fit around the staircase. So it will be a bit of a slow job. But there’s no rush.
