Upstairs, downstairs

While we were gone, JDK's crew had come in and installed drywall upstairs. Gerald and I spent most of a day upstairs finishing with the plywood.

JC spent the day welding our interior safety railing. Gerald had discovered that the railing he started closest to the kitchen was too short to pass code.

We talked about the options, including adding a second pipe above the first. In the end, we decided to scrap it and start over.

It took all day, but by the end of the day, JC had the safety barrier all welded. All that remained was for Gerald to add some wood along the bottom on the kitchen side to close the gap.
