With most of the walls in place we were able to start the greatroom floor.

As areas were finished lighting was installed.



Perimeter lighting is added downstairs and the washer and dryer were delivered at the end of December.





We finished the cedar above the shower and the plumbers were then able to finish their work in the bathroom.



We started laying the greatroom floor in the Kitchen area and here Lyle is placing the last few boards by the front door.

When I had finished staining the floor we built the railing around the basement stairwell.  The builber then carried out this same look for the upstairs walkway railing.  The railings are all made out of very old 2x4's which I was able to find through a company in Michigan.



Basement stairwell railing.



And here the builder was finally able to return and start the upper railing.





I do love how these railings turned out.
Gosh!  It is fun going through these pictures and seeing again how things came together.
