| September 10, 2005 Family Room Floor & Stairs |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My Parents came up and gave us over two weeks of their time to install our wood floor and stairs for the new Family room. From August 26 until September 11, we worked every day on getting the floor down, stairs in, and all of the complications around those pieces fitting together. We also got the mantle hung on the wall for the fireplace. This would not have been possible without my Father's time and expertise. Thank you both (Mom & Dad) very,very much. This was a great experience and a wonderful accomplishment for us. |

| Getting Stairs ready.... We had to fix quite a few of the treads on the stringers. Contractor installed broken ones, then nailed the pieces back on! Also, not one of the stringers was in line/parallel with each other. Not a very good job. |
