Gonna go with a K.I.S.S. approach, as open a look as possible. I wanted to wall straight up, enclosed staircase, but was vetoed by the boss, she wants the open look, so that's, that.
Back to work, vaca over, so it will be catch as catch can for a while. Probably poke along with mud and tape now, as time allows. Still soccer season, and post season playoffs coming soon,
and I got a couple more trips down the sand to do, I hope.
