Yesterday it was raining all day, so we retreated indoors and installed a proper handrail for our basement stairs.  It still needs to get trimmed a bit and painted, but it sure is a lot better than the 2×4″ board I had up there previously.

We also had a gas inspection yesterday afternoon – on that front, we had two small changes to make, and we addressed one of those yesterday (just had to shift the vent pipe for the bedroom fireplace slightly.)

Today my dad was visiting family up in Ottawa so I was here picking away at this and that.  I managed to get a shelf built in the side of our fireplace to hide away our PVR and also got most of the drywall installed on the fireplace as well.

We are hoping the rain will stop tomorrow so we can finish off the railing for the front steps leading down from the porch, we’ll be sure to keep you posted!
