Home Improvement

We moved into our house 25 years ago and we were younger then! I have always liked our house. Lately I realized having a hand railing at the front door would be a nice touch for us and for our guests. There are a couple of steps to navigate so having something to hold on to would be helpful.

For 25 years there was no railing by the front door.

So, several days before the 8″ October snowfall, we went off to the big box store to buy a railing and hardware. 

The railing before it was painted.

My husband went to work. First, the railing was measured and cut to size. Then some circular extensions were needed to be cut out so the hardware spacing was “up to code” as to how far the railing came out from the wall. Next the oak wood was primed, then painted, then put up with extra long screws. 

The finished railing.

It turned out well. It’s a great addition, and improvement, to our house.
