Caboose Steps Being Built

From my home office, I can hear the carpenter in our backyard building the new wooden steps for WP668, our caboose. The framework will be of pressure-treated wood with stair treads of a wood and plastic composite lumber product (Trex). We like Trex because it lasts and does not make splinters or get hot in summer. The metal handrail will not be done today but the woodwork should get finished. Our carpenter said it is fun to work with a structure that can easily be moved a few feet to accommodate construction or design.

The welder brought his young son along on Monday to help work on our cool project. The carpenter's father showed up today for the same reason.
