This is the largest downstate Illinois home I know of. I was fortunate to have been chosen to build the freestanding curved stairway in it three years ago. It is a 22000 ft home. These pictures dont do this mansion justice.
Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

Some views on the way home after a 2.5 hour flight. The last picture is the smile I better get rid of. I am going to be dragging into home tonight telling Barb what a tough day I had.
I told her one time that taking off in a gyrocopter is the second most fun I ever had. Of course this prompted her to ask.."And what is the most fun?" I of course said..."LANDING IT!!!"
I did say I told her "one" time....I wont pull than one again.
