Progress on Main Stairs

Just a brief note as we are expecting company in less than half an hour. I have made some progress on the main stairs (finally!). I got the hand rails in on Saturday. Today I've been working on the spindles. OK, I got a grand total of 3 spindles up. But, I learned a lot on this effort and the rest should go a little more quickly. The spindles are made of 1x1" white oak and are joined together by threes for each step.

Here is a picture of the hand rails after I got them up.

Monday is supposed to be a fun day, no work on the house. But, we'll see........
