Stairway to second floor complete

We were able to put in the stairs to the second floor. It has a small storage area below and a wash area for the gardeners and children coming up from the farm.
The stairs will connect the court yard, playground, and patio to the staff quarters and guest rooms. This will allow a main access to the top floor. Before now, we only had a back service stairway. We use it to go to the roof and hang laundry. Eventually, we will have a drying area for our piles of diapers and childrens clothing. With two exits and lots of open air, the second floor will be cool, with good airflow and a nice view too.
Archie and Narcy had nothing to do with it, but they posed with a hammer when he was young. Now Archie is old enough to carry a tool all by himself.
