Air Fooled, can you give me an idea on what the rear setup would be worth, with a hand rail on the outside? I'm supposed to be doing this for a friend in Brissie this January, but its going to seriously cut into my drinking time...

KRUIZIN KOMBI- off the top of my head without the figures in front of me it cost in the vicinity of $1000 to make the rear steps and verandah.
step stringers (metal step supports) $350 for a pair
galv poles $180 for two
hardwood bearer and beams $30
kwilla decking $20
steps $200
bolts and nuts $50
cement $100 (i went hardcore on the cement)
jackhammer hire was about $50
paint and primer we already had
dont know about the cost of rails yet, wont be doing them to last......
hope that helps dude!!! if you want a more accurate breakdown or measurements or anything just let me know!!!

Hey there, looking good.
If you don't mind me going off topic here, is that poor bus in the background another victim of the dreaded VW engine fire? Looks bad up back!

the kwilla decking is a bitch though!!! apart from having numerous curved planks i have to pre drill every nail hole (thinking-16 beams x 20 planks = 320 holes to drill!!! eeeek!!!) as the not too big nails keep cracking the wood!! arrrghh!!!
