| The staircase sticks out a bit more than expected so we are going to build out the wall a few inches. For the closet door, a flush, invisible door will be there. | Half way to the top. | The recess under the landing is for built-in shelves. |

| The house on the right complained. After construction, my house will be as high as their house. | Tarps still cover parts of the house and won't be removed until the roof goes on. | A good view of the storage under the stairs. The black pipe is the gas line to the upstairs heating unit. |

| Shelves will fit in this recess under the stairs. It will be fully wrapped in Honduras mahogany. | All large beams have a 1/4" radius at all edges. Smaller pieces have a 1/8" radius. | It took about a half a day to get this beam to fit perfect. |

| All the drywall was removed since it is uneven. Honduras mahogany will line the sides with ebony plugs. | The 5" wide Brazilian Cherry floor starts to go in. The central vacuum can be seen to the right. | The plate rail starts to go up at the top of the stairs. |
