Day 6 Stair Remodel and Max Singing Take 2

Ok, I know it seems that I have skipped a few days of stair remodel but really there was nothing much new to see. A lot of sanding, staining, painting, trim etc. went on in day 4 and 5 and really there was not much progress to be seen. Our contractor does not work on weekends unless he has another job waiting for him when he finishes so there was zero progress over the weekend.
We are really starting to see the stairs take shape.
Our rail was backordered and was supposed to be in yesterday. I didn't talk to Roland (our contractor) or Matt so I don't know if it has arrived or not.

Yesterday they finished the trim piece that runs up along the side of the stairs, laid down the wood for the landing (same wood as our downstairs floor) and installed the newel posts. You will be able to see in the pictures that there is some more staining to be done on the newels. Matt also has a request in for them to fix some of the staining on the steps as well.

I was told that there was trouble viewing Max's video that I posted the other day so I am going to try it again. Here it is, let me know if this works.
