Sanding it down....







Building stairs with decent tread to riser ratios is one of the most difficult things for builders to do. As we have 32 stairs from the first floor to the third floor, comfortable stairs are mighty important to us.....Before we can go for final inspection we have to have our stair treads and hand rails installed. On Saturday Jeff's brother brought in some dried red oak and milled it into the shape that we want for our stair nosing. Once Scott was done, Mike took over with the sander and made all 32 peices look shiny smooth....Click here to go to a great article on stair design: http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/framecarp/technique/stairs/outdoor.htm

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....
