There has been steady progress on many parts of the house in the past few days that have been overshadowed by the stair installation.....

Today, it is with great sadness that I report that our project manager has given notice and will no longer be managing our house build. We are sorry to see him go and thank him for everything he has done for us during this arduous and lengthy rebuild process. We will miss you and wish you all the best!

Okay, so the stairs don't fit.

At first glance, the amazing sweeping staircase looks like it has been installed

Yesterday, the two sections of the amazing sweeping staircase were bolted together to form the full staircase. Today, the amazing sweeping staircase finally gets put in its place of honor in the rotunda.

The two sections of the stairs are placed together so now they just have to mechanically attach the two sections.
