Roof Over the Stairs?

Many comments on my barn stairs yesterday at the Bouckville Fiber Fair. Yes, they are wonderful, and yes, they were a long time coming, and yes, there will be a roof over the stairs eventually (from your mouth to God's ears). There is SO much snow in this Great North Land that's the first thing people think of. The carpenter in question has promised to put the roof on, in front of so many people, and I remain optimistic that he will follow through or be confronted by the masses. My clothes still hand on nails but the roof over the stairs will happen first. Not sure I will live long enough for a closet but one can only live and hope.
