There's a hole in the floor!

After the front window was installed, the weather started to cool down and winter was here before we knew it. Most of the winter months were spent working on building the cabinets and picking out hardware, doors, colors, etc. for the house. Then once April came around, everything started to turn green outside, so we knew it was time to start demolition!

Before any of the walls came down a new hole was cut in the floor for the new staircase to the basement. The old staircase was located in the kitchen and was really inconvenient. The door to the garage was right next to the basement door, so one door had to be closed in order to open the other. So we eliminated that issue all together by relocating the staircase to the middle of the house.
