Evening guys.

I got the new struts in the rear of the Explorer today to replace the cracked ones.
The rear new sits 1 1/2" higher.
The ride feels a LOT better also.

Brendon,
That handrail really needs to return into the wall in order to meet code.
What are you going to do on the open side of the stair now that you cut the wall down?

That railing was taken off the wall that was taken down, and is there temporarily. There will be a railing back on this side when all is said and done.

Well, it looks like you have made a lot of progress today!

Nice to make soffits of metal studs. Easy to lift and easy to temporarily position with wide throat ViceGrip's.

Is the extreme fisheye in your first pic just a strange artifact of panoramic view?
I would think the processor (or it's program algorithms) would try and make the horizon straight.

I don't know how or why the panoramic works on the iPhone, all I know is that it does.

Good morning Gerry!
And all you Nutmeggers.

The rain has passed down here in the 'toe'. and the warmth that's come with it seems to have eliminated most traces of the snow.
