Small details

With the colder weather outside, we're turning again to indoor tasks. It's been nice that it's been a milder fall because that means that we can use messy tools like the table saw outside!

Last week we started working on finishing the stairs down to the entry landing. Please note the wood on the top tread (the riser is also in for that one) and the stringer along the north side.

That was it for that night, but then last night we were able to get the stringer on the other side of the stair put in, and somehow in between days, Matt managed to put the nosing on that first tread, too!

Putting the south stringer in place meant that we could finally add base trim around the tiny bit of wall between the stair runs, so we went from this...

 ...to this...

...which looks a whole lot more finished.

And that was that for that night, so maybe in a week or so we'll get another stab at it. The nice thing is that now that the stringers are both in place, risers and treads are something Matt can do single-handedly, so he doesn't have to wait for a time when I'm available to help.
