More Finish Carpentry

I'm kind of wishing we had done two of these special baluster panels per section, but I think it will look better when it's all painted.


Handrail going down an the wiring for the stair lighting sensor.


Big newel posts.  :)


Handrail on lower section


This is just to show a little bit of what the trim looks like.  I like how wide the baseboards are.  The headers for above the doors aren't ready yet.  In the basement we're just doing plain trim all the way around but upstairs there's something a little fancier.  I can't wait!


I didn't know there was going to be a big post at the landing in the stairway, but I like it. You can see the stairs all finished too.  The stairs, if you remember this far back, were kind of a joke for us because they were one of the last things the framers put in.


This is the little storage closet we ended up with in our closet because the hvac didn't take up very much space.  I am not in love with the pieces of wood put in to make the "adjustable shelving" here.  I think we'll take it out and find something else a little less clunky looking.


Trim around the storage cubby.  Hopefully someday we'll be able to add doors here to keep my year's supply of TP, soap and shampoo out of sight (although it's behind the door, so it's kind of hidden already.


Closeup for Kyle's benefit, of the wiring for his light sensor.

This is where we throw the kids over if they're being naughty.  Eventually there will be a half wall bookcase here for my recipe books and whatever else.
