It seems we're always working on a project around the house. For some of the bigger one's, we've created some "photo timelines" or mini-blogs of the project as it progresses. It's fun for us to look back after the project is complete and see how it came together.
Browse through the albums below to check out some of these projects or click here for a large list of projects we've done, and some we still have planned.

Completed rails after finishingThe finished view, from the top! We used a Minwax stain finish, which matched the color of our floors and related trim. Then we installed three coats of Minwax rub-on polyurethane. This was the first time we used rub-on poly, and we loved it. It was a joy to work with, especially with so many hard-to-reach surfaces to cover.

Work on Main RailingNext work began on the angled railing. First, the bottom newel post was cut to length and installed with lag screws into the framing of the stairway. Next, a new oak board was ripped to proper width, and mitered to fit over the top of the stairway framing. Finally, the bottom shoe rail was installed on top of this board.

Window!William was worried when we covered up his window with sheathing, but was happy again once we cut it back out.
