Sounds like you got to do a much better job then I did. We bought a 120 year old row house last year, and I'm still trying to get it livable before dealing with really nice finishes other than some paint. My stair case was the result of a bad reno job in the 80's or 90's, and was complete with a newel post held up by corner brackets, and balusters that waved in the wind.. All I was able to do for now was replace a few treads, and rebuild the railing, with plans to do a full hardwood rebuild in the future. next is the rotting wooden framed sliding glass door that the dogs decided to shred the bottom of... Sigh... I love my house, but it being my first house I really didn't fully anticipate the amount of maintenance. At least it's masony, and I had the window casings professionally skinned in aluminum.

At least I get to build fun stuff at work in the summer. Last year was a dining room table, and refinishing a 1950's Dinette set, and this year is Kayaks. I suspect next year will be more kayaks for my neice, a folding kayak, and a sailing dingy.
