Drywall, stairs, and flooring

More progress at 319 Somonauk Street!  It started with walls.  Johnston Drywall did a good and efficient job hanging and taping our drywall. After two years without walls, I had tears in my eyes as I walked through what was starting to look like a home once again. Next, Mike Taylor from Taylor Finishes primed walls and painted ceilings.








Once the walls were up, Brad and Chris got to work building a beautiful staircase.  It never ceases to amaze me just how talented Brad is!  I know that it's not proper English to end a sentence with "is" but how do I fix it? I digress...



Owwww, ahhhh.  Pretty.  Do you know what else are pretty?  These....




Anthony from Upscale Remodeling came today and revealed the amazing 150 year old floors hiding under layers of gook.  It's hard not to get excited about these floors, but we're still not sure they can be saved.  Only time will tell if Upscale can work some magic.
