Building Wooden Stairs
Project: Dream Garage and Boat Storage, Episode 10, Part 3
Horticulturist Ruth Foster joins Bob to discuss ways of bringing native trees and vegetation back to the area around the barn, where there's the sterile, sandy soil of Cape Cod. Pitch pine, blueberry bushes, and wildflowers will grace the exterior, while, inside, tongue-and-groove paneling goes up on the walls. Carpenter Bob Ryley builds a sturdy staircase up to the storage loft.
