Nearly got the stairs put in!

Brendan called to Dad and said he would go over and do the stairs today but Dad was not available to give him a hand, he said he might go tomorrow!
So then the pressure was on me to give the ceiling of the landing 2 coats of white, cut in the ceiling, give the walls 2 coats of the final color and cut that in too, put up the final recess light and paint 2 coats around the velux.
I had "scaffolding" to put up which consisted of putting up a H frame, put 2 scaffoling boards from it onto the stairs, screw that in, attach one of the trestle to the boards on the H frame, screw them onto the boards and run 2 boards ontot he landing, then put the 2 steps on top of that!!
As you can imagine it was hairy to say the least up on it!!
Siobhan was over and began to start sanding the doors. Dad had the skirting in the hall done which looks mighty
I got the 2 coats of white done, the area around the velux painted and the cut in done for the final coats, it was 1am when I finished to headed off home.
