John and Thor:

Thanks for the info on the lag bolts. I am glad I asked before I started
taking parts off the beam. I will take a pair of vise grips to the remaining
studs and hope they back out.

I will try my air hammer on the step tomorrow and hope I can get it to start
to move.

Well, after running up and down the companionway steps into the salon over a
few thousand times the past year ( The ones to the aft cabin are out of use
because of engine work), what I was afraid of finally happened this
afternoon. I got used to spinning around pretty quick and dropping down the
stairs. Well this time I slipped ( I was wearing socks, as I had been all
winter) and fell backwards into the hole. Luckily my elbows caught the sides
and my back hit the oppiste side and I didn’t fall all the way down. Back is
pretty banged up but my diet of Advil and Tylenol is helping. I guess no
more running on deck in socks!!!

Paul
