Stairs and railing

We have an old set of stairs at the back door. They seemed nice enough but they needed railing put on so we could keep our home owners insurance. As Will and his dad went to take them apart to prepare them for new railings they realized that the stair risers (supporting wood under the steps themselves) where rotting away. So they had to rebuild the stairs before they could put railings on. Thus started the three day project that was supposed to take one morning to finish. They did such a great job though. The stairs no longer bounce when you walk on them and the railings look great and make it a lot more safe (the stairs are over a cement patio). I did not do a very good job documenting the events but here is a shot of them working on fixing the stairs then one of the railings and stairs finished....well we still need to stain them and add the post toppers but you can get the idea.
