A lot happened yesterday. I know, I know, I didn’t post updated pics of the stairs. So shoot me. But David got a great shot of the landing.

The guys working on the stairs are totally my new best friends with cherries on top. The pic doesn’t show it, but they did get the upper treads in by last night, and one of the bottom supports.
We were told that the plumbing is pretty much done with the exception of the roof punch-throughs. There’s been rain in the forecast on and off and they don’t want to take chances. They decided to do the punch-throughs on Monday when the roofers can come in and immediately put down the shingles. And that’s it–then they inspect and move on to the last stage: drywall, flooring, and finish out.
The last stage!
David told me that things slowed down a little when the lead electrician came by and realized that his guys hadn’t done as good a job as he expected. Sounds like the kinks got worked out, tho, and I am glad I didn’t know there was a two-day hold up because it would have just caused me stress anyway and now all I know is that I am about to get to go upstairs and they are ready to schedule the roof and inspection.
And did I mention that I presented my thesis last night? I know that has nothing to do with the house, but it is just one more thing I am uber-happy about. I’m done! I got my Master’s! I’m so happpppeeee!
Back to your regularly scheduled remodel-in-progress.
