Loft Ladder wrap-up and Music Creekside

I managed to finish attaching the rungs/steps to the loft ladder one evening after work, so I took it up the next weekend to see how well it would fit. I also bought a couple of three inch wide milled oak moulding for the upper side of the rails, so the hand grip would be a bit smoother, and also to hide some of the gaps where I had cut the mortices for the steps on the inside walls of the rails.

Turned out pretty nice, and it set in place without any appreciable wobble or unevenness. Here's a shot.

Later that afternoon, my sister-in-law's boyfriend drove up for a little jam session with his guitar and my uke. He was in the area because his mother lives not too far away, and he thought it would be fun to check out the property and play a little music. He is a much better musician than I am, but when I'd lose the chord progression, I sometimes managed to noodle out some single note accompaniments. He seemed to know just about every classic rock song ever, including intro, verses, with clean endings. I was impressed. He also surprised my by playing an Irving Berlin tune from about 1915, after I mentioned that I liked jazz. It was a very fine and mellow time, as the creek provided backup orchestration. Maybe I should try recording it sometime.
