All images are clickable to make larger!

This is a before and after shot of the newly repaired window.. I couldn' t find a better old photo to show.


This is the wall on he staircase.. before it just had plaster, but we took the detail from around the stairs and continued it.. it needs still one coat of paint, it's only primed.


The spindles have been painted, and are hanging to dry.

Here is a photo of the hand railing.. it was stripped of all the finish, and lightly stained the color of the stairs, so it would be close in color, considering it was different wood. The stain is still wet.. but should dry darker.



A photo of the two hand railings drying.

Hoping next trip up the stairs can be finished.. and the hand railing installed!

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.

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...

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