17 Aug 23:
As usual the wee pirate showed up early, but announced, to check on the progress of the new ladderwell. She of course was not pleased with the lack of balusters. Today we cut two to check the look and fit and were pleased with the concept.
Our stair building friend Paul suggested a small chamfer on top and bottom, functionally to help shed rainwater and aesthetically for a pleasing look. This also helps reduce sharp corners. We fastened with wood deck screws from the backside to avoid drilling pilot holes, as a fastening a narrow piece from the outer face without a pilot or countersink tends to split the wood along the grain.
Now to cut and fasten about 30 more :)
