Railing Modification

Our 1969 split entry has some of the best and the worst of the period. Perhaps my least favorite is the scroll pattern on the iron work.





We found some replacement styles that we just loved. We quickly determined that such an undertaking would be a budget buster. About then, a friend made an offer we couldn't refuse. He'd come over with his saws-all and metal grinder, and I'd make dinner for him and his wife. DEAL!!







E cut through the weld spots with little difficulty, and grinded them down to ensure no rough spots. I touched them up with a little paint. As a bonus, he also removed all the scroll work on our deck. You have just got to love the helping hand of a friend.
