Cap it off

What is so amazing that I'm constantly shocked is how quickly a house can come up. We started the digging on a Tuesday and had the basement walls up by Friday. Now its a new week and the floors are on, both top and bottom.

Thanks to my insistent mother and diligent father we have chalked lines on the basement floor and can walk around from 'room' to 'room'. It even feels large, and the best part is finally going from the paper plans we drew up a year ago to walking around on it!

I'm always pleasantly surprised at how what seemed like a simple drawing is more complex and wonderful. These stairs are not only great but they led my father to a wonderful change (to be posted soon).
