There is a small parapet wall that overlooks the staircase from Jo’s office. The studwork has been in place for a while, however, we have yet to fix the handrail. The oak timber arrived for the handrail a few weeks ago. The timber is fairly chunky at 150mm x 150mm. It has been languishing on the floor of the study since it arrived. Today, we decided that it was about time that we had a look at it in situ.
It looks great, particularly when viewed from the stairs as the handrail matches the beam below. We need to get the handrail fixed before the outside of the studwork can be plasterboarded.
These pieces of oak timber arrived a few weeks ago. They have been on the floor in my office. They look a bit big for a handrail!
From this side of the parapet, the handrail looks the right size. The panel between the oak timbers will be plastered. We can only get this plastered once the handrail has been fixed in place (using screws from underneath).
