Banister
I finallt replaced the dodgy old banister going up the stairs. We wanted a stainless steel rail but I couldn't find anyone who sold such a thing on this side of the atlantic. I was going to make one but stainless is so bloody expensive. We were at home depot and looking at lights when I saw the steel conduit used for running electrical cabeling. Our neighbour Benny had buit his own rail out of shower stock so I decided to take a page ou of his book and make out own rail but out of some burly steel pipe. - the conduit. The entire project cost $26. Conduit, Silver spray paint (for the brackets), self tapping screws, and chair caps for the ends.

You guys are total renovating ninjas - if I ever manage to get some semblance of a home and it needs work I'm going to call you for help. WHOA! I am SO excited to see the place when it's done, or even before it's done (I may be back in Canada/Hali in July for a wedding).
Let me know if you need any NZ sheep- or rugby-related furnishings to make the place that much classier.
