The Stairway to Heaven

The windows were put in yesterday. They came from Lowe's, and our other windows did not, but they seem to match just fine. The stairs are very nearly completed. This is a picture going down the stairs. I tried to angle it so you can't see all of the stuff at the bottom of the stairs that is still cluttering up the hallway. The floor guy took a lot of his toys home yesterday, so the clutter is a little less.

The spindles and newl post are in now. I think today the first finish goes on them, and then nothing else happens to them until the floor guy finishes everything. That will be after the drywallers have done their thing and I have painted.

The stairs look nice. The guy that we are asking to do the drywall was very impressed with them. Several people who have walked on them say they are very sturdy compared with their own stairs. I guess doing the job right isn't always important in new construction these days.

So hopefully next week the drywall goes in and maybe I get to start putting on paint. I'm sort of afraid to post that for fear that it will jinx us and be another couple of months! #1 has been working on a movie for his state 4-H project for a few months. Today we should finish it! He interviewed about 10 people from the community who have been involved in 4-H. He also took action shots of 4-Hers "doing their thing." All of that has been combined and now he is voicing over the script that he wrote. Tomorrow is Family Fun Day in our county 4-H program, and we hope to show it there for publicity. School may be out, but we are still busy learning.

#2 made a coloring book of birds, along with information to teach about birds. He will be hosting a booth to teach kids how to make origami pigeons. Tomorrow should be a big day.
