Staircase Update

We made some significant progress last night and all we really did was get started. But remember, a journey of a thousand staircases begins with but a single stair.

We got the main post into place at the bottom of the stairs. Then, we more or less got the rail into place. We are using the old rail because it is a nice wide, substantial piece of wood that is no longer available in the same style. Because of all the new regulations and codes, stair rails are much thinner in order to allow a hand to securely wrap around it.

With the rail in place, this allowed us to cut and place one of the new balusters. I think they are going to look great.
