| The flat newel caps had cracked since installed in August 2008. |
 |
| Water in the cracks was rotting the wood. |
 |
| Time for Papa Tom to use leverage to lift the old newel cap off the finial. |
 |
| Papa Tom used his chisel to smooth the finial surface, so the new newel would lay flush with the top. |

| Using the vice grips to remove finishing nails |
 |
| New newel! My part in the project: helping choose the newels at Lowes, then painting them. |
