Perry here from 9 to 1.  No surprise, after a good night’s sleep, he figured out the staircase second section cuts with only moderate teeth gnashing.  While Perry was producing stringers, I assembled a cantilevered landing for the lower end of the section staircase section.  That assemblage has a nice art deco feel to it, being made from the cut ends (retrieved this morning from the burn pile) of the 16″ LVLs that were used for the overhead door header.  Mike Many came by to talk about the Colonial Red standing seam metal roof that he and Pikey (his son and roofing partner) will be putting on the barn and cupola.  After Perry left I finished making and then installed the treads for the second staircase section.  By sauna time, the staircase was complete, absent a railing that may or may not get installed sometime in the indefinite future.
