Home Improvement

After buying our house, it seems like the "to-do" list just keeps growing. There are so many things that we'd like to do, but just don't have the time or money for. However, putting a new banister in was on the priority list. My nephew, Isaac, has walked through the old banister many times. So, we figured with a baby on the way, now is the best time to fix this problem. We talked about this project for a long time and we knew that it would eventually be one of the projects we would have to do.

This is actually Chuck putting in new locks for us, but you can see the old banister. I know it's not the best picture, but when the project actually came about, we didn't take the time to think about taking a before picture. :)

Although we loved the open feel when there was nothing there, but that isn't so child-friendly either.
This is what things looked like alot of the time. Mom, Dad, and Spencer planning and talking about the plan. I think Spencer would tell you that this wasn't the easiest do-it-yourself project to figure out. Once we started working there were so many small things that made it difficult....like a slanted wall that we never new about. :)

The almost final project. We still have some small things to finish, but luckily on these pictures you can't see those things! I'm proud of my parents and Spencer for putting this in! I can now rest assured that our baby will not try to crawl through the posts, plus we'll enjoy the nice look of it for years!
