I've been wanting that trimmer!
-
Well, he returned while I was at work to finish up and fix the project. Not the ideal design but at least the railings match up now. Still can't believe I had to complain to get him to do it. What do you guys think?
-
Thanks for the feedback guys. He should be back tomorrow or Friday to fix and finish up. Unfortunately I will not be able to be home to supervise. I'll update you with more fresh meat,...I mean pictures.

The area light in the link

Yeah, 1X6 treads. The old ones were 2X12 I believe

Exactly right about the first step heading down. It was not flush on the old stairs.

I own a townhouse and belong to a homeowners association that I pay dues to. They take care of everything on the outside of my house. My front porch was in need of being replaced so I called and they sent someone out. At this point in the job I noticed that the railings were not aligned properly. As a matter of fact I overheard one of the crew saying that it didn't look right. The railing on the stairs ends up being almost a foot higher than the railing on the landing. I came out and asked the main guy about the railings. He started giving me some nonsense about how it was technically all to code and some other bull. I'm sure he didn't like it but I told him how it should be done. He just continued to deny anything was wrong and said if I wanted it changed I'd have to call the property manager. Unfortunately even though it's my property he was hired by the property management. Well I called and had the property manager look into it and fortunately he agreed with me and it will be fixed. My question is, does anyone find this work acceptable? I've never seen it done like that before. It looks like he was trying to get away with something since he would have to get a little more material to do it right. Am I wrong or is this guy a bum?

I was kicking around the idea of getting one but now it's listed as "out of stock"

Finished the second one today. Added some vertical pieces on the corners to frame it out. Looks much better, gives it more of a "crate" look.

Got some pallets from work to make some planters. Built this one today and will build a second one tomorrow. I'm going to put them out near the front porch in the spring with some new bushes in them. I'll stain them & go for a rustic look.

Yeah, in the first pic you can see the chair rail with wallpaper on the left that I'm replacing.

I could see yuppies buying this for real

That thing looks cool now!
-
Wow, I've never seen anything like this.

I have this saw, I think I bought it about a year and a half ago. I've used it for several small projects and it has worked well with no issues.

Nice of you to give. Looks like a couple of quality items.
TIA spotted in Lowes today. Eric and Dan's word is now legend.
