Take one last look at the house before it REALLY starts changing. Trust me. You'll hardly recognize the place when we're done with it!
Sometime in January, we finalized the main layout of the house. This allowed Greg to start a very important project: the stairs.
If you'll recall, we used to have two sets of stairs in the house. Bear with the pictures, it's tough to visualize if you didn't walk through the house before demolition.

| Staircase 1 pre-demo |
 |
| Staircase 1 post-demo |
 |
| Staircase 2 pre-demo. Nice paneling, very scenic. |
 |
| Staircase 2 post-demo, post house-lifting (note: where Nola is in the 2nd picture is where Brian is standing in the first picture for reference!) |
Clearly, this wasn't an optimal floor-plan for a 2400 square foot rambler. We took both sets of stairs out and are replacing them with a new, more user-friendly set.
Below, Greg is making the first cuts in the floor. No turning back now!
 |
| There it is. Big ol' hole in the floor. Watch your step! You can see where staircase #1 was where the wood is a little lighter. |
 |
| You can still see the old layout in the sub-floors. Back in the day they used to build the walls before the floors. |
 |
| Hard at work! |
More on the way!
