I have been in the cabin a few weeks now there is a lot I have to get done. #2 son came up this weekend to help me get the stair up. He was a great help, not only did he get the stair up but he also framed in the railing for the loft. I have to get someone in to finish off the drywall before the last railing on the stair is placed but he did a lot in a weekend.

I got my spiral stair from The Iron Shop and I will say that is was relatively easy to install. You have to read the instructions and watch the video but with a little “home work” it is a very doable project. I would recommend any one to get at least the 4 foot stair. The 3 ½ foot one that I have is a little tight. I had to go with the 3 ½ foot because of space but I would have loved the 4 footer!!

The bug guy also came by, seems I have a “little” problem with carpenter ants. I saw some the day I moved in, freaked out, sprayed my “bug be gone” and called pest control. I haven’t seen any since I sprayed but I know those little buggers can be bad and I don’t want to take any chances. So I called in the big guns, The contractor had bug stuff added to the stain to keep carpenter bees out but I guess it does not work that well with ants. Any way I guess I’m not living all that “natural”, gotta keep pest at bay!!
