Did you count how many balusters there were? Did any have to be replaced or re-milled?

The detail has to make you proud.

^I know there are 35 across the front. There will be 36, eventually, but the left end of the bottom rail needs more work, before I can put the last baluster in. When they moved the stairs from the front of the porch to the side, (50+ years ago?) they had to have new railings and at least a few new balusters milled, because the opening is wider. So, when I put the railing back where it was originally, I'll have a few extra balusters, and extra length of rail to fix the problem on the front.

I am proud of how the front balusters turned out. But I'm not looking forward to going through that long process again on the sides!

Wow, just went through this whole thread in one fell swoop - awesome work!! What a beautiful house.

[JRC]

Thanks! I still have a lot of work left to do. But I went back to look at the beginning today, and I forgot just how far it's come.
