The crew arrived at about 7:30AM on Friday. They dug in (literally), coring deep and large diameter footings for the multi-landing staircase - 8 holes in all! The team transported the load of pressure treated wood and cement from the driveway to the work site area too. Finally, they filled in the pond and cemented a landing for the future set of steps. Prior to the digging, they used a transit and several construction lines to lay out the multi-landing stairs.
The more I watched, the more glad I was that this job was contracted out... what these guys accomplished in 10 minutes would easily take one person, at least an hour. They were hustling most of the day too, which would be a difficult pace to maintain for any single person.
Weather this week is supposed to be very good, so I anticipate that their progress will be significant over the coming days. Here's the stack of decking, rails (in cartons) and 12" wide, composite trim boards.
