Steel casement story, part 2

In the previous post, I mentioned our first plan of attack was to fix the windows. We definitely had our work cut out for us. You know something's not quite right when you're happy to find one of your window panes has been taped in.

Amazing

Nothing in the world beats the feeling of having pulled 4x8 sheets of drywall straight up via the small opening next to the stairs, causing the sheets to more-or-less bypass the stairs entirely. Sure, your arms may shake and you may feel like you can't quite do it, but once it's done it is a feeling of outright dominance, human vs. very heavy object. I wondered why the stairs were built like that. I still don't know why, but am very glad, because taking them up the stairs the traditional way would have been far far more difficult.

Two people are definitely a must for such a task; three would have been better. So happy we didn't try to take them up while they were still paired together; THAT would have been impossible.


We can do anything!
