It's finished!Here's an inside view of the 'workshop' area. We hung up pegboard and put in a small workbench. You can also see the finished window, which opens out.

Siding workAt this point, the back and sides (minus the gables) were complete, and Tim was working on siding the front. The garage door won't get it's final wood trim until the roll-up door is complete.

Upper rail completeThe next step was to remove the other wrought-iron railing. This railing was one large piece, making up the straight upper section, and the angled section down the stairs (see the "before" pictures above). We also removed the trim board underneath the railing, so it could be replaced with a new oak board finished to match the new railing. We used the same procedure as above to install the small upper railing at the top of the stairs.
