Shutters and Stairs

The house was given another face-lift today both outside and inside. Bo and Sean put up the shutters outside and Ricky worked on the stairs inside. As with the siding, we decided to break the mold and go with an unconventional type of shutter. We chose a board and batten 3 spaced boards type of shutter. Ricky put the newel post and treads (the horizontal part of the steps) in today. These are the original threads, which he refinished a couple of weeks ago.

Shutters on the windows on front of house.
They will be put on dormers soon.

Treads, risers, and newel post.
Doug made another trip out to the cabinet place today and was told the cabinets are supposed to be redelivered tomorrow! Let's hope that Danny sticks to his word and if they are delivered that we can keep them this time!

The shutters make the house look really outstanding. They probably upped the value of the house by $20,000 by themselves!
