Went to Lowes on the 5th and purchased 8 feet of oak hand rail, 8 feet of 1x4 oak and 6 brackets.

I first cut the hand rail and 1x4 to length. One 6 foot and the remaining 2 foot. I stained those wood pieces. Still have the poly to brush on. I want the 1x4 to mount on the wall to the studding. Then mount the brackets on the 1x4 evenly spaced. Can not evenly space the brackets with the stud layout. I do not trust wall mollies to mount the brackets just on the drywall.

The past nine days a few hours each day I removed the 34 foot walkway. dug down and buried a lot of the concrete. Topped it off with the dirt I dug out. Took about 30 to 35 hours to do that. Still need about 7 cu ft of top soil. Plus I will need some grass seed. I have a haul away outfit coming tomorrow to haul away the left over concrete chunks. About 1/2 a yard.

Now I will move on to putting the poly on the hand rail and mount the hand rail on the hallway walls. 6 foot one side and 2 foot the other side on the short wall.

After that I will top off the walkway with top soil and seed it.... [ More ]
