Our goal was to build a ladder with a comfortable angle, level flat steps, and rails that extended into the loft for safer handholds. A good way to get rail angles and step layouts is to measure a step ladder with a similar height to the loft floor.We used kiln-dried framing material and some newel post mounting hardware to make the nice new loft ladder for this project. Step by Step.fter cutting the first rail to length with the right angle at the floor and a birdâs mouth notch to the loft trim, we used it as a template to make the other rail. With one of the rails in place, we determined our step intervals using a step ladder as a model.
Habitat. African lions live in Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa. They wander a territory of 100 square miles (259 square kilometers), according to National Geographic. This territory consists of scrub, grasslands or open woodlands.
California Cougars. About half of California is prime mountain lion country. This fact is a surprise to many residents and visitors. These large, powerful predators have always lived here, preying on deer and other wildlife, and playing an important role in the ecosystem.Also known as the cougar, panther or puma, the mountain lion is native to North America and exists only in the Western Hemisphere.A lion's natural life span is approximately 10 years in the wild and up to 25 years in captivity.eer are the favorite prey of cougars, but they are opportunistic predators and will also kill elk, porcupines, small mammals, rodents, livestock and domestic animals. Mountain lions are most active from dusk to dawn, but they will hunt and travel in daylight.
