Yet Another Update in the Thrilling Saga of the Stairs
The stairs. The stairs! My life will be a better place once that staircase is finished, if for no other reason than the fact that I’ll no longer need to remember that I really ought to be working on them right now. A fact that I’m reminded of every time I come home and see that big gaping hole.
What’s happening with them? They’re all stained, all sanded, all polyurethaned up. The walls up are. The electricity has been wired. All that’s left is to
- Cut and nail up the ceiling
- Put in the risers
- Put in the treads
- Finish nailing the door frame
- Poly the door frame
- Put in the door
- Put in the railing
- Put in the light
- Put in the light switches
