The most elaborate part of the house went in this past week. It is a steel stair structure that will support a floating platform above the foyer. It allows light from the upper window in the foyer to flow down to the entry and living room creating a very well lit space. The steel has been roughed in and will have temporary treads and a platform until more of the finish work is completed in the house. I am hoping the the stairs will be in use soon so Lesley and Noah can actually see the top floor. Until now I've had to go up a 25' ladder to access the top level. We hope to have inspections completed in the next 10 days so we can push forward with insulation, drywall, and flooring. Its coming along and looking even better than we hoped. We feel very blessed.
Last February we (mostly me) had the crazy idea of building a home in our great city - Chicago. After some research and figuring, we decided it was somewhat doable. With a lot of prayer and some perseverance, our dream is on its way to being realized.
