One Step at a Time

Tom and I built a set of steps to get up into our spray trailer this week.

We used to get into the trailer by grabbing the side of the door and scrabbling up the frame. Getting down was a reversal of that of course. Invariably a couple of times a year I’d miss a foothold or a handhold and plummet gracelessly to the ground.

Notice the nice handrail on the steps. Safety First is our motto! The handrail serves a dual purpose. When we fold the steps up it holds the steps upright, so they’re easy to lower again.

The steps are out of the way when they’re up. We just close the doors and go. When we’re ready to use them again there’s no dragging them out or fitting them into brackets. All we have to do is tip them down.

I’m just delighted with these steps.
