A Stairway to . . . the second floor

When Steve and I bought the house we had no idea that we were going to change out a stair case.  I'm not even sure I knew you could.  But you can!  We had this ugly staircase inclosed with sheetrock.  Soon we will have this wonderful open staircase with walnut stairs, metal railing and cable stringers.  The amazing part is with their design we went from a less than 36" stair all closed in to an open stair of 44" without changing the landings.  Thank you J&J Stairs.

Kitchen Appliances

We finally have kitchen appliances and counter tops!  Of course the range is not hooked up because the gas valve the plumber put in is too long and we can't use the top drawer under the range.  This is just run of the mill stuff when you remodel.  We just need the plumber to come back out to change the gas valve.  To bad he didn't notice that the valve stuck out beyond the slider for the drawer when he was installing it.  Oh well!  We are hoping to move in sometime next week- hopefully.
