We were able to remove the stair forms today, and it seemed like the lumber was everywhere. It took most of the day to get all the screws and nails out of the wood and take it out of the dome and stack it on the back of the property. Now we can smooth the edges and grind any sharp corners with the cup stone and grinder. Billy did the heavy work, and I cleaned up the lumber and stacked it on the garden trailer. It looks so good now, just like we imagined it should look.
