Got up enough energy to go out and git-r-done yesterday.

Poured out enough kilz primer to coat the platform and added the sand to the grit count I wanted. Mixed that up with the electric drill and paint mixer paddle attached. Rolled and brushed it on constantly mixing the sand paint in the roller pan as the sand settles quickly.

Went out this afternoon to see if it was dry. Yep, it was dry so I done a walk test to see how the grip worked. Works great, grabbed the soles of my shoes just fine. Done a drag my shoe test and it gripped the soles of my shoes. 

This afternoon I just ordered a 2x2 inch by 4 foot tall flanged post with cap to be used on the flat landing outside corner. Anyone who wants to step off the 3 inch high landing can grab the corner post for balance.  That will be delivered Dec 1st. I will lag bolt that in place when it arrives. That cost about $37.00.
