Countdown to more stairs

John and I met with our stair builder, our architect, and our general contractor at lunch today to work on a redesign of the stair railings surrounding the stairwell. We think the new design will be attractive. The railings will be delivered in one piece (!), either at the end of next week or early the following week.

Alan, our stair builder, confirmed that he will install the run of stairs from the second story to the third story tomorrow. The installation of these stairs, which weigh in at about 800 lbs, is a complex manoevre and a courageous leap of faith. In a nutshell, they will be rolled in on wheels from the truck, and hoisted and bolted into place.

How is a person supposed to sleep at night knowing that stairs are being installed the very next day?
