Before we can get our certificate of occupancy for the River House, we need to have stair railings, final or temporary in place for the interior and exterior stairs. Today I completed temporary railings for the front door steps and patio steps. These will eventually be fabricated in stainless steel, work best done in warm weather, and after the steps have had plenty of time to settle into their final positions. I was able to secure the front stair railings into the stone using anchor bolts which will not be visible when they are eventually removed. For the patio stairs, I chose to use 5-gallon pails filled with 100 pounds of concrete for bases rather than drilling holes which will be visible later.
