Our New Guardrail


FINALLY! We did it! We had the guarrail installed the on the back staircase to the basement. We have been meaning to do this for a long while, but we were having issues with all of the French companies we called. Either it would take them AGES to come to finally give us an estimate, or they would tell us the wait for installation would be 3-4 months! Finally after telling our landscaper about this, he said he knew a wonderful German company that could do it in stainless steel for the SAME price as the painted aluminum that the French companies proposed. Stainless steel is very much the "look" here and is also the top of the line material. The French companies (for the SAME price) were proposing aluminum that was merely painted! The stainless is beautiful and harmonizes well with our grey granite rocks and stainless steel light fixtures outside. Now we just have to finish the painting of the lower part of the house when the front landscaping and driveway are complete! It is exciting to think that the exterior is finally coming together! I LOVE the yard...and the kids do too! I feel so much better having that rail back there now!!!!!
