Stairway to Heaven?

Once the exterior railings were well underway, Gerald tackled the interior safety railings.

We decided to go with the same look: rebar with well pipe for a top rail.

We marked where the holes should be drilled but marking a flat board then holding it up to each support post, in turn, marking where each should be drilled.

Then Gerald drilled the holes at an angle, cut the materials and put them in place.

Here he is pushing the bottom support in place to lock in the rods.

For some reason, we thought we needed more rods than we did. Fortunately, we figure it out before we cut them all. When it's all done, we'll cut the top of the post to a reasonable height.

There was a conference about what needed to be done. JC is at the top. His daughter, Liz, is at the bottom.

Once the bottom rods were in place, Gerald started on the top.

It was hard to get the angle right, and that took a little finessing. We weren't able to finish the job by the time we had to leave.
