Measure, Cut, Adjust, Finish, Install, Repeat
Our current DIY Home Update continues with our focus now on stairs.
Out with the old and in with the new!

On June 18 the two of us moved all of the upstairs furniture to the hubs Office, my Sewing/Craft Room and our Master Bathroom. We were exhausted however we completed the task. The next morning we moved the bed just before the crew arrived. We love when a plan comes together!
