Front full view storm and fiberglass entry with stain...worst part about it was the wife made me do it.
It's the same door I use to go to and from , how ironic.

Finally found the right mason to finish the pool/spa brick coping, its been a PITA trying to find some skilled brick layers with this project after telling the others "Is that your best work" Geezus you need to spend more time sharpening your trade skills  ...Oh well its done to 'my standards' now.

Thanks guys. They're Pine actually. Made from scratch by a neighbour who is a Marketing Manager for Levis, but grew up in a woodworking family and has a pretty nice bandsaw. He sculpts in his spare time. I was waiting for the right project to come along to ask him about doing some work, and he did a great job. Quicker and easier to deal with than most of the local woodworkers. Hobbyists pay a lot of attention to detail!
The top and bottom rail already existed, (with plywood for ballusters). I beveled the bottom rail at 15 degrees, and the bottom of the balusters were cut with a matching 15 degree mouth. Then the ends were sealed with BIN. The bevel and notching keep them from twisting but most importantly it helps them shed water after a rainfall. Properly primed and painted, they should last a good long time.
There were matching side rails too.
Beveling a curved rail with a circular saw wasn't quite as dicy as I thought it be 
Here's another pic:

Just finished this shower. It was just a fiberfab tub shower. Now we're just waiting on the door.
The house on the right was a complete gut remodel, the only thing still existing is some sections of the exterior wall, beefed up rafters, beefed up joists. That's a picture of it not too long ago.
The house on the left is brand new.
