I was hoping the local stair supplier here would price-match, but, alas, they don’t. So I ordered all the railing fittings online, hit home depot for a bunch, lowes for a couple more things and dave’s cabinets for the newels, straight pieces of railing, and trim. Ordered carpet, too! We’ve got everything in-hand now except the online order (shipped thursday) and 45 single-twist iron balisturs, as home depot can never keep their iron balisters in stock- they had probably 200 double-baskets, but we damned-near cleaned them out of single baskets and double twists, heh.

$930 worth of 16’ trim & stair parts is a stressful half-hour drive… We had to stop twice to keep from strewing trim all over the highway.

We selected 7.25” base molding and 3.5” Florence molding for the doors and windows, and a light beige low-pile carpet for the living room, hall and guest bedroom.
