Staircase update

Well it's up. My salvage store finds are getting put to good use. Now the painting can begin. We are having some trouble covering the new newel post because what ever stain they used 100 yrs ago keeps bleeding through the primer we put on. You can see the pink keeps showing up in each of the pictures. It's getting kinda funny now. I think we have put 6 coats of primer on it and it still has some pink coming through...

First coat of primer, and the railing is up with new spindles

second coat of primer

third and maybe fourth  coat of primer

 Upstairs railing is done. Looks pretty good.
