We have STAIRS!

We no longer have to use a make-shift ladder to get to the second floor . . . we have our stairs! We started on them this past week and finished them yesterday.

Here is the first run of stair and the landing. The stringers are in place, but you can't walk up them yet.

Here are the completed stairs! They have temporary treads on, but we'll get the final treads and risers in later. For now, they're great for getting up to the second floor. We still need to build the wall/door to the closet below them and the walls around them on the second floor.

Here's a view from the top.

We also finished putting in the exterior doors. You can see the door to the storage room in the garage in the picture above. We had an inspection today on our doors and windows - which we passed! :) Here's a shot of the finished doors on our back porch.

We hope to start brick soon. We have a couple things that still need to be done to prepare for this, like additional peel and stick around the windows. But, it'll be done before we know it. Everything's looking great so far.
