Hand Rails

They put up hand rail rails on one side of all our stairs.
This shows the profile of the hand rails. There is a spacer to get the hand rail away from the side. The top of the hand rail is rounded so it can be gripped.
They also finished the downspouts today. It is a long way from the roof to the ground.
Today they delivered the covering for the back porch. The covering will block UV light, but will still be translucent.

Downspouts and trim

Today they worked on a lot of things. You need to look closely to see the changes. They started to put in the downspouts. The black tubing is gone from this picture. They added a cedar trim to the outside of the porches and landings. They also put up the vertical stripping on the wall under the front porch.
They also added cedar trim to the back porch and landing. You can see they haven't put in all the downspouts because we still have a black pipe in this picture. You can see the posts that will hold up the cover for the back porch. You can see that they have graded the back yard. We still haven't put in a lawn.
They also put in siding on the wall above the front porch. The old siding may have been removed when they lifted the house.
