spiral staircase for loft
ok, a few updates
the closet frame is strong enough to hold my 210 pounds, so thats a good sign
on the right hand side, there is a horizontal beam in the wall, so i will be able to support part of the deck on there as well
on the left hand side, im just going to have to find studs
i got the ledger in, as per Cope's instructions, so 2 RSSs (not ROUS's that would be bad) deadcenter on the studs
of course my local hardware store didnt have any concealed flange/inverse flare joist hangers for 2X4s so i bought two for 2X6s and cut them down, and installed regular joist hangers at 12 1/2 inch intervals (for 7 total)
once i decide the exact width of the deck, i can start cutting joist and install them
looks like im making pretty decent progress here
(pay no mind to the extension cord coming out of the wall, that will be cut and wired into a wall outlet before this project is finished)
