Stairs and Railing

On the bad day that our first tile guy quit, I also had to ask our foreman to redo the stair posts.  He had asked me what I wanted our posts to look like and I said, "You know, square, not swirly."  I can now see how that wasn't a very clear answer.  So he followed my directions and made them square.

 And then I did what I should have done before and found a picture of exactly what I wanted.  So he had to re-do them, but thankfully, it mostly entailed adding on to what he had already done.

I had been playing with the railing design for a long time.  I knew that I liked the board-type, rather than the spindle.  I'm sure there is a name for that.  "Picky," I think.

So here is the empty space, just the posts:

Here are my sketches:

And here is the finished stair railing:
