Sometime in Dec 2003 Gary "sculpted" 4 bars into this shape, to act as support for the stair leading to the kids' rooms.

Then placed these boards as steps. The lighter and easier task of sanding was left to me; however, since we were seeing more up and down movement of heavy pieces of wood and building equipment like the table saw, we procrastinated the sanding until such time that it is ready for the finishing touch.
