New stairs, day 12
Today Jordan spent all day installing spindles. 24 spindles—three on the lower run of steps, nine on the platform, and 12 on the upper run of steps. And he is done!
It’s hard to describe what a big difference it makes to have the balustrade completed. I was concerned about the visual weight of the spindles, since the 1.5″ diameter felt large in isolation. But I think everything looks just right in context. I’m really beyond pleased at the progress and at the end product! There are many small details I have yet to finish. I’ll take some better photos once everything is officially done. For now, here’s the completed balustrade.
