I married a do it yourself kinda guy that loves to work with his hands so in celebration for his return home he decided that now was the time to tear down some drywall and rip off the carpet on the stairs. I like the ideas but I don't like the mess and shambles my downstairs has been in the past 2 weeks. I feel like I am cleaning all day, everyday, and even when it is clean it looks dirty and dusty. But I have had tons of fun working with Ben and the new helper Lathan. As he has grown he really likes to help and show us that he is a great helper. He has been earning an allowance since we began all the work to encourage him that it is good to help around and that responsibilities can be fun and exciting. Here are a few pics of our start and our progress so far. We are taking the walls out and putting in a banister and ballistrades to open up the stairwell. This project has taken longer than thought because Ben has been busily registering for school at UNM which he starts on Tuesday, but it looks great so far and we are excited to see the Final Outcome.

Wow, the stairs are looking really nice. I am always in awe of the big projects you two take on! Or should I say you three:) I can tell how much Lathan loves to help and I love how he's wearing the headphones on his cheeks:)
