Neighbors across the alley

Crumbling stairs are the next project.  Steps made of plates of concrete - vertical side plates and L-shaped riser/tread pieces interlocking with a notch at the back. And large flat top plates. All held in place with the drilled-in railing. Probably 1940's I'm guessing, same age as the siding.  I can't find anything about that style of step on the internet anywhere, if you can please send. Wow.

I'll definitely preserve the railing now that I can get it off of the concrete without cutting it. Tried with everything I already had yesterday to even slightly loosen one bolt.  Today bought a HF breaker bar for twelve dollars that looks like jewelry and works like a dream with my sockets. Fence has been moved back past the side door.  Trailer is empty.  It's practically done now except for the work.

Young man! There's no need to feel down!

just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singing ooh
baby ooh
baby ooh

If you've never you should tighten your belt and watch this.  The main dude at the old Uptown Video (obscure uptown cult VHS video rental borrow-and-tape specialists sadly closed for probably 10 years now) said it was his favorite movie ever.  Jodorowsky is tough, this is his best.

and I was looking for a friend of mine.

That is obviously a gas pump, an old visible pump specifically.  The point being as the man demonstrates, when I pay for gas I want to see the gas, and the amount, and probably the giant air bubbles.
