1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning
Paul spent the evening cutting and mounting boards to close up the open risers on the stairs, and installing handrails. The handrails look great, the stairs not so much. I can't believe this could possibly pass inspection but I can't find anything in the state code that it violates. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will work.
Then he spent the late night tiling around the fireplace. Looks great, but we're one piece short. Kathy bought these little 3"x6" pieces to go above the tile, and we need one more cut into quarters to be mounted on each end of both sides. Looks great otherwise. Paul spent more time wiping mastic from where it didn't belong than actually setting tile.
$260 for all the supplies. Yeesh. Ah well. It's done.
We didn't hear anything from the surveying.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
