The view you would have if you tripped and fell at the bottom of the stairs. At least you would see that cool little elephant hiding there.

The temporary staircase leading up to the second floor that all of the contractors had to go up and down, most of them without too much grumbling or noticeable fear...

The first drawing (on site) of the staircase. We actually stayed pretty true to what was on here when all was said and done.

Looking at the two steel stringers, they seem pretty skinny - only 1/4 steel, but they can apparently hold somewhere around 5000 lbs

With the steel stringers installed, but clearly a lot of construction yet to go, we just put in 2x6 temporary treads.

The rules and regulations surrounding the code for staircases gets pretty specific and we didn't want to install this whole thing only to have to take it apart because we were off by 1/4" somewhere.
