Stair Day Take Two

Today there was thing on our mind that needed to get done....the stairs. Micah came out today and finished up the stairs and rails. This a major step in the remodel process, since it's starting to look more like our home instead of the home that was bought.

We had be trying to decide if we wanted to have wooden balusters or iron ones. I always thought that the iron ones would look much nicer, especially against the colors we have chose, but they were quite a bit more expensive then what we wanted to spend. Then comes along deal maker Micah. He had found some iron balusters that he would sell to us for half price, so of course we jumped on the option to have iron balusters.

In order to help speed up the process Mike helped Micah cut the balusters.


Now cutting solid iron balusters is very very loud, and it's hard to be anywhere near the saw.


Taking a quick break to pose for the camera. Love the ears don't you?? He is such a goof at times, but he always can make me chuckle. Silliness!!

The rails are up!!

The finished product....well almost. We still have to sand and stain the oak, but that won't happen until we are ready to put in the floors, so for now, this is as good as it's gonna get.

The view once you walk into the house.


So pretty, don't you think?

It was a very productive day. We accomplished the major project that we wanted to, plus made head way on some of the smaller ones around the house. Things are coming along quite nicely.
