Four years after we built the house in 1981, we just had an aluminum ladder going from the floor level up to the raised floor. This floor level ran right through to the back western end of the house. The first area was initially a small recessed area which acted as storage area divided off by a small wall. In recent years it was converted into a small office for Anthony my son before he moved out. Then the office became a space for my daughter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The staircase was built by hand initially using two sides of recycled 75 mm thick timbers left over from the house construction. These were securely fastened down to the downstairs floor level and up to the raised floor. I then carefully measured the step height and allowed for sufficient steps. I had previously obtained a whole truckload of hand split hardwood slabs I had bought very cheaply off a farmer down at Boonah, a nearby country town. The farmer had pulled down in 1984, a very old (100 year old) pioneer hut on his land as the rounded bush log rafters had been eaten out over time by termites. I had heard about the slabs through an advertisement in the local paper. See what slab construction looks like in early Australian history when we went to Timbertown at Wauchope in December 2012.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com.au\/Attraction_Review-g529041-d2492100-Reviews-Timbertown_Wauchope-Wauchope_New_South_Wales.html\"><strong><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">See this website.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>___________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Keith Allen Family and Community:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">We live in North Ringwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Elizabeth is in charge of Home Economics at Nunawading Christian College.
