Stair Building - Saturday 14 March 2009

The finished steps.

Al and John fitting the steps.

Almost done.


Todays project was the completion of our step project started last Tuesday. Roy acquired a donation of 3/4 crush from Lussiers pit to use as back fill in the steps. Al and John found another Cedar log to use for treads and with Brians help loaded them into Johns truck as Roy backed his trailer as close to the trail head as possible. 

When the logs were carried down to the steps Al and John chain sawed and drilled them for placement as Roy and Terry unloaded the crush into the wheel barrow manned by Barry. As Brian and Ed with help from Craig spread the crush into the steps built on Tuesday Al and John installed the remaining steps. 

We were able to use some of the bolts salvaged from the Marina cleanup to spike in the treads and as Laura and Rebecca found rocks to place at the ends the boys spread more crush into the steps. All this was photographed by Kaylen.

Upon completion everyone was proud of the mornings work they had accomplished. We were informed by the logging company to their concern over the Gas line crossing on Craig Creek and suggested that we go and have a look at the stream banks.

  1. This is great! I always wondered how those stairs went in and if it was just as simple as digging out steps and dumping half-logs on them.

    The bolts stick out? To make a tread?
