Now that the steps are underway.. there is a question about the top landing .. and the foyer floors.. here are two pictures of the landing at the top of the stairs..

As you can see.. the floor needs something.. this second picture shows there is a different floor at the top of the stairs, than along the side. It needs something lol

Stairs are all cut and in place, just need to be sanded, and pilot holes drilled, then stained if we can find the right color.

Here is a photo of how the foyer looks at this point

In this photo, it is all painted with a final coat of paint waiting for the stair treads and the railing

Here is before the details were painted.. the were stripped off all the old paint, patched up and replaced.

Little time left over.. the bedroom #2 door was framed out, here is inside the room..

Here is outside

One more thing got painted.. the wood work around the kitchen window.

A photo of the remaining snow

Just a couple of photos of the work on the stairs, the wall trim was removed, sanded and reinstalled.

The Post has been reinstalled, and everything primer coat of paint

Just an idea of what it will look like with the stair treads

Bedroom #3 has had the door hung, but not trimmed..view of the inside...

View from the outside...

Next time more work on the stairs, can't wait to see them done.

First two days in a row it snowed about 6 inches each night.. will spring ever come?

Now, the STAIRS... what a sight, so glad their time has come.

taken apart... paint being stripped, being reinstalled.

Nail holes filled with putty.. all sanded... one final sanding then repaint..

.. just to sand, paint, size and cut stair treads.. then finishing..

Not taking as long as I thought.. as for the finish on the stairs.. research again !

Here is a photo of the stairs.. the next project

Been a long time since I posted... hadn't been able to visit the house.. but, I finally got there..just for a day.. we left 5am Sunday, got home 9 pm Sunday, was a long tiring day.. but I enjoyed it.

Here is the picture I took of the kitchen.. no different but I got to snap it.

Here is the reason for the trip.. see the gully in the roof? It was full of snow, an ready to fall on the lower sunporch roof. We had to remove what we could, to keep all that additional weight off the lower roof.

And finally here is just an example of the amount of snow we had up there.. had a hell of a time keeping the kitchen floor clean..

next trip, maybe the front stairs an be started ,, it is sorely needed.. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
