STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Well, the house is taking longer than expected. Big surprise? No. There is a lot that goes into building a house and Andrew is doing it all by himself. Plumbing, electrical, floor, windows, roof, etc...

The other thing he did by himself was a set of stairs. During our last conversation about how they should be, we had settled on something very simple and pretty boring. That's what I thought we were going with. I got a call the other day from Andrew saying that the stairs were done and did I want to come see. It was late in the day and I just wasn't that excited. I opted to go see them the following day. I brought my camera so I could take pics of another phase in construction. When I walked in, I saw this:

The stairs are made entirely from a fallen tree from the property. It was one he was going to use as a beam at one point. They are sturdy, comfortable and beautiful. The railing will be made out of recycled copper pipe. I have never seen a more beautiful set of stairs. Ever. I hope you all will get a chance to see them and use them. I never thought I would fall in love with a set of stairs. But can you blame me?

Big Love,

Sarah
