Adrian: Amateur Handyman

I have continued to improve the front steps of my girlfriend Lili's (not her real name) front steps. She wanted a hand rail on the left side of the steps, so I put built one for her. This was not too bad of a job. The strenuous part of the job was digging a two foot hole with the post hole digger. Once I got the 4X4 post in the ground, the hard part of the job was over.
Next, I added a 2X4 post to complete the rail. That was all I needed to do. It was holding great, and it blended right in. Here's the pictures of it.
Next I completed laying down the patio stones that I started a month ago. I added another 60 stones, and once completed, it looked great.
Next up, I did something that just needed done. I painted the mailbox, and put numbers on it. I really wish I had a "before" picture of it because it looked awful. It really did. But with a little paint on it, it looks great. Here's the "after" picture.
I'm sure the mail lady will thank me.
More work will be coming. I still have to paint the front and back steps. So more work, and thus more blogs to come!
