I installed three out of seven Newell posts today. More accurately, I installed three-quarters of each post. I have left one side open so that I can secure the railings with a bolt driven from the inside. Tomorrow, I will glue on the missing face and top cap. The base is glued to a cleat that is the same size as the inside of the hollow post. The cleat is secured to the floor with a massive lag screw. If tomorrow goes smoothly, I should be finished with the railings by the end of Monday and we will then be ready for our certificte of occupancy inspection. Fingers crossed.
