" A lot of moldings and charity doesn't shouts and most sought to vote got schacknow and far back. And I carry on about how it was time I see that you've already put this up portion of the railing together yeah we did that back shop that makes sense. But what does that ring to show organized and when we did that is we laid out -- story pole. Which allowed us to keep our. Balusters one and three quarters apart just think fighting about right this is -- space in here is that if this report. And we senate historical on here -- in the same distance at both ends OK and then we kind of sank a three inch galvanized screw. In the bottom here. That would tighten up the analysis the system three inch screw like that not too worried about them spinning around no because on the top. What do what else coming out it's not that keeps them from spinning and the lattice so fit right at the top of our. Rail cap there's just slips up into the bottom of the rail cap OK so now regretted it going input just and we can wrap that's right into the OK how can I help him that's it. -- it and sign it we'll put it didn't write in these little slots in there. Case. And NATO and and -- all right. The base is secure now is gonna slip the top barn yeah. Then. And Bob is a small spent the markets this thing that I actually -- Can how are you gonna secure that top Terry we're gonna use the three inch galvanized screws counter sunk and then look for the holes that okay."
" This newel post here actually is a duplicate of the old one which we still have kicking around and what they've done is taken. All of these old moldings here and the newel post as well and read turned them in in in -- cut them. Found it far story and that's basically what we're putting together here now so what. This detail here well. And up looking like is. This will come around here in spot right in to this properly just put it. What forgot that the last thing is to put this finial on what we have -- as -- as some hot ripped from a -- place called LJ Smith. We have a tool threaded dowel basically. It looks like that's. And we just take it said it into the the the finial and then just take the finial. And screw it. Break down into the newel posts. Nobody can use to fill these holes."
" Off you fill the holes with the wood a pox two part epoxy wood filler system from the trunk yeah and you basically take a little of each. Indeed mix it together. More on the continent I think in order to uniform color. You've got the plastic gloves for that that's -- Or others that he. Otherwise you'll never get it off your fingernails how wanted to take that to set up before you can sand it takes about six hours from group. -- It's and a volume and can nail it. So -- only a few high spots on it and I would answer you have something to stand this is how to price. The whole thing on this is that okay. So that to scrape a little of that off with a chisel and in -- arrests and the rest."
" You know we're getting close to the end and we're talking about hanging screen doors and that's what Glenn is doing box right now we have there's a select pine. Wood screen door which as opposed to an aluminum door which really wouldn't go on up on a house of this vintage. And what I really like about this right here instance it's really decorative that goes with the house but it's also these kind of pieces are acting as something structural because they've used engineered lumber and yet. That's gonna help this door from racking and it's all been. Put together with mortise and tendons and itself -- and that's very easy to hang it comes through blank but all you really need this. Three pilot holes here looks like they're about quarter of an inch itself. And that should be ready to hang isn't it yes it is justice constitutes garment stuff -- okay. That the stone you put opinion that it didn't fit the first time did you have to. At a -- about a quarter of an inch and a block. That was that's. Much when a custom ordered they treat little -- so this is the handle that comes with -- is a simple matter of attaching two screws to it. Right there from the back side. OK that's our set we're ready for the for the screens now in order to get votes. -- basically it's held in with these. Clips just like that and then there is -- handle the country complaining in the wintertime -- used as a strong. As well. -- Stuart and actually they came from way down from the screen door company out of Ontario Canada. Yet as the bottom. Actually there is a editors -- front and back to the screen to concede its backside here is that the gasket that holds the screen and and that's going to be hidden by the stop. And in the front system little decorative piece right in here."
