Whoops!  I looked out to find the stairs gone!  A sign of progress but disconcerting in any case!

 The caps on the parapets are in place just in case we have some rain...they need more work, but I love they way they are going to look...

 Greg welding the base plates to the cor-ten posts...

 Rotating the beam and plate for the next weld.

 It took three men to lift that post and plate onto it's foundation and set right on the big bolts.

TA DA...the finished job!  The wood for the deck will be coming soon, I hope.  It is more than time to wrap up this job.  It was just freezing down here this morning.  I took one of the little heaters down to KOKO's room so that everyone would have a warmer place to duck into, but don't know that they did...they are all working fools!  Can't blame Andres for leaving for Mexico on Friday...wish I were going with him in a way.  I really dislike this brutal cold, but love the on going work!
