Our New Stairs

I know this picture isn't very good, so if you can't see it, this is a picture of our new stairs. One day, my dad met a man and he asked if my dad had any work for him to do. My dad said yes, because he did, and he gave the other guy $10 an hour to split our wood. The man was also good with tools and stuff like that, so he also asked if he could fix the stairs because: The stairs had carpet on them like our floor and it gets dirty if someone spills on it. It also had a broken hand railing because we (meaning the kids) used to ride down it and stuff.

The guy ripped out the carpet and took down the railing and wood steps until there was nothing left but those three wooden zigzag things that the stairs lay on top of. Then we went to Lowes (the store) and bought three types of steps. We chose which one was the best, returned the other two and bought five more of the other kind. After that, we bought the last pieces that we needed and cut them with our neighbors power saw or whatever it's called and fitted them into place on the stairs. That night, the man left, but on thanksgiving, my dads friend did the rest. But my dad told everyone not to use the stairs yet because there's something else we need to do before we can walk on them.

That's the story of our steps.
