Continued from "Interior Greenhouse Door."
So now the gaps are filled in, we have a door knob, can lock the door, and we have steps! These are especially noteworthy, because the 2-inch oak planks were milled by Dan from a tree he cut down about six years ago.
He's had these lovely planks stored in his workshop, just waiting for the perfect project. This turned out to be itl
The soil beneath the steps will eventually be dug out when the floor is leveled. Then,we'll put down a layer of gravel. That may not be for awhile, but we have stairs!
Still to go are trimming the door and painting the trim.

Those are some beautiful steps. I love the grain pattern on the treads!
Nice! We still need steps built for the new coop. Looks great!
Those planks steps are just gorgeous. Good to see the progress on the greenhouse.
Enjoy!
The land has provided you a beautiful way to enter your greenhouse. Love it!
Ed, Dan finished them with linseed oil. It did a great job with the color and bringing out the grain!
Kristina, thanks! Do you need the steps for you or the chickens?
Rosalea, enjoying very much! :)
Daisy, yes, it's really special when we can use homegrown materials. They do work out well, and are usually better quality than what's available at the lumber yards and stores.
That looks great, Leigh. Very jealous of the stairs!
No doubt, this will be a great setup for you. One step at a time is what I always tell my husband...
Gorgeous steps!
TB, they're the prettiest stairs we have! ;)
Shug, I so agree. "By the inch it's a cinch, but by the yard it's hard." Good to keep in mind!
Nancy, thank you! They turned out really well.
Nice steps! No missing that big step down while you're carrying stuff or otherwise occupied with thinking. I know I've done that before and it's a big "whoops". Now you don't have to worry. A gravel base will be good for drainage too and help with holding in the heat. Something else to look forward too in the future.
Nina, good point about the gravel holding heat. Right now the dry soil is very dusty, and I'll be glad when we're not tracking that into the house!
Lovely steps! I do appreciate 2" lumber, and am sometimes able to get roughcut that thick from one of the very few remaining local mills in my area. How satisfying to use your own home-milled lumber in projects!
Quinn, the 2-inch is really heavy duty and feels perfect for steps!
