At this point, we've pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that most of the work in the house was done by a madman. But even so, there are some things that leave us scratching our heads. Case in point: the pictured staircase to the upper floor. You probably can't see it, but the handrails are not the same length. What's worse is that if the left handrail were the same length, it could have been screwed perfectly into the wooden plank. Instead, it was screwed into the seam between two planks, splitting one of them in the process.
