Christmas "Break"

I didn't get much of a break this year. In fact, I spent very little time at home or doing anything relaxing. A friend of mine is trying to finish his house and move in as soon as possible, so I have been working 16 hour days to help him get done. I have mostly been focusing on making and installing handrails, but I have been doing odds and ends throughout the house to help him get finished. Here are a few pictures of what I've done.
I custom made all the newels, rail, trim, etc. So every piece you see (except for the iron ballasters) were made and installed by me, including the wood stairing.Another view of the handrail.

One half of the trex deck, handrails, and ballasters. To give you some perspective, the posts are 6x6 and the boards shown here are 8 feet long.

The other half of the deck.

Here's the handrail in the two story garage, before the bottom rung was finished.
