The staircase is in!!! It is so awesome to have it in, I'm really excited about how it turned out. I was originally kind of nervous, because I've never seen a spiral staircase in a house before, (other than in the movie My Fair Lady and I don't think that counts) and especially not one in a house with eight foot ceilings. But I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with it :) The Frogges came over and it took the guys about 7 hours to build and install it. I think it went fairly smoothly, no major hiccups, but just time consuming. It's super nice to be able to just run up the staircase and not have to climb up a ladder and then kick the freshly painted wall as you haul yourself up to the floor. We are making so much progress on the house. It's great to see it all come together.
Stair treads, though I think they look a bit like flippers. Maybe a little heavy for that purpose though. ;)
Marking the four "corners" of the staircase so they can center the pole.

Looking a little short...
Putting the aluminum handrail on.

Lol, this one is a little out of sequence! This is what the handrail looked like before it was installed, the guys had to unwind it form a circle and then twist it up the staircase.
Until the next update,
