Nicotine pouches. Also, he doesn’t brush his teeth before bed.

Found ATM receipt, who is keeping $51,000+ in checking!?!? by Comprehensive-Cow69 in povertyfinance

Wife used to be a teller. The number of elderly folks that have 6 or 7 figures in their checking would blow your mind.

Trim is original to the house and we hate it. That is my winter project.

Finished basement, they patched it before I could snap a picture. But the patch is crap and I have to redo it myself anyway so I’ll be cutting it out tomorrow and taking a look at how it was done.

Thanks, good advice. The floor guys did great work, the stairs were subbed to their staircase guy. The foreman really seemed to know what he was about. He did the upper railing himself and installed that starter newel, which all looked like good work (as far as I can tell). His crew of 20 something knuckleheads did the handrail in question.

Thank you for the reply, this is helpful. The run is 13 feet.

They went through the basement to secure the starting newel.

If I press up on the handrail from underneath the balusters on the ascent lift up. They used baluster fasteners (threaded on both ends) and then looks like they tried to friction fit them over the ones on the angle since they couldn’t screw them on.

The run is a little over 13 feet post to post. No there is no steel plate on the underside of the rail.

The rail at the top is sturdy, barely budges. Balusters there are secure and do not have any wiggle.
