Installing stairs, lime rendering and a fire wood shelter

- It's been a productive week.
I decided to buy a pre-fab staircase instead of building one myself as this would save me a lot of time. It was a bit of figuring out how exactly the staircase had to be fitted in the space we have available but I think in the end it looks like it just had to be there.
Further I'm building a dry storage for our fire wood. Its seriously autumn now and the stove is burning almost every evening.
Ad then in order to continue with the staircase I have to start working in the middle house on the first floor as well. before I open up the floor I should have done all the work required there in order to avoid having to work while balancing myself on ladder propped o the staircase.

When I saw you reading instructions I thought it was the wrong channel. Great work and problem-solving as always.
True. Who do these manufacturers think they are telling me what to do?!?!
This is a great looking staircase.....looks amazing and I am sure Nadia will love it. Great wood storage unit! Great week!
Thanks so much Jane!
That’s a pretty stylish firewood cover. What well behaved chickens they look so healthy and well cared for.
They’re our babies. Only the best is good enough for them 😀
What a great staircase. The Feathered Inspectors approved the firewood storage....and made short work of the worm! The transformation of the stairway zone is truly a marvel....lots of work, but the results are always the reward. Cheers to you, Nadia and the Feathered Inspectors from Canada 🇨🇦🫶
Thank you. Yes the middle house is going to look the part. It will complement the style we applied in the bathroom. We bought a lot of antique furniture that we have in storage for the moment. Can’t wait until we’re ready to start decorating.
@@thisoldhousefrance we can't wait either!
Very nice storage, but the ivy is destroying the stone wall! Ivy gets between the stones and water gets in too!
But it looks great!
I’m impressed with the staircase! I’ve never seen a prefabricated one before. Cool. Your makeshift shelter looks amazing. Your chickens are lovely 💙
Thank you Lorrie😀
It's looking absolutely great! It's also lovely to see your girls and hey hey doing their thing too 🙂
Thank you!! 😊
You are brave captain, I wouldn’t know where to start with those stairs pre-made or not . 😂
It’s not about being brave. It’s a combination of naivety and stubbornness 😀
Your chicken children are lovely.❤
Yes, they’re my babies
It’s a real turning point getting the staircase in (excuse the pun). You’re doing a great job. We’re all proud of you. ❤❤❤
Thank you Carolyne😀
Wow, I'm impressed with the stairs. Well done Marius. It looks like you may have a small length of stairs left to maybe access the loft bedroom [for guests] from the 'landing' upstairs area?.
Hi Sindy. There’s no loft bedroom other than the one in the little house. I’ve got only two steps left and I think I’ll use the wood to reinforce the stairs. I’m a big heavy guy so I need sturdy stairs 😀
Nice jobs Marius you have been a very busy man .Its all coming along well now. Love you let the chickens come in with you. Loved watching Marius😘
Thanks Annette. Yes coming months most pieces of the puzzle will be falling into place
I love your house great job
Thank you!! 😊
Best wishes to you
Thank you
Nice roof 😊
Thank you😀
That ivy will destroy that wall. I think you will want an eve or that walkway will be really wet when it rains. If you would spray the original wall with water before you render, would the lime still crack?
Yes the lime would still crack. We do love to have the ivy there. The walkway has french drains installed with 4” of gravel on top so even during a massive downpour it’ll be no issue.

Always a challenge, installing stairs by yourselves. Well tackled! Just curious: how did you reconnect the steps to the lefthand beam?
Good thinking! I screwed on an angle from the step into the sideboard. This obviously all on the underside of the steps so that the screwheads are out of sight. The straight part of the stairs was held together by 6 screws on each side, I.e. 3 steps were holding the whole thing together. I have now got 4 screws in each step to make it stronger than by design.
If you coer the waste bin you will have to keep dragging it out every time you want to put anything in it ??
Exactly my thought.❤
Yep, it didn’t work. I’ve relocated the bin this week.
Are you going to fix the floor? Looks awful!
A good sand and a coating. It’s nice hardwood
