PROGRESS ON THE HOUSE!

Yay!!! Another job is done! We knew we would have to replace the lower section of the stairs to the basement. Years of waterfalls every time it rained has really weakened the wood and the handrail hand been removed to facilitate taking things up and down while working on the reat of the house. I did not go up or down without having one hand free to grip whatever I could get a hold on. Poocheroo didn't even llike to go up or down them! Well, Saturday, James was helping David install a small gas heater in the basement so we could stand to to work down there and one of the steps gave way under James, no injury but a good scare for Mom. So today James and David built a new set of stairs and put the hand rail back up. It no longer feels "spongy" and slants off toward Joneses. It's safe and wonderful!
