March 26, 2007-- rickety stair rail


yay! my birthday! let's list something really great for today. i know! this stair rail! we've been meaning to replace this railing since we bought the house 3 years ago. it's unstable (wobbly if you lean on it) and the space between the balustrades (?) is wAAAAAy too big (i can fit MY head through it, so you KNOW a toddler can!). well, we finally, this month, got our carpenter friend to come build us a new one. it wasn't particularly cheap, but it's beautiful and sturdy and since we opted to "finish" it ourselves, it's not quite done yet, so i don't have an "after" picture, but here's the railing we got rid of! (i think this picture was taken before the bottom post got shredded by the cats--another classy touch.)
