2 1/2 hours later...

Well, the demo is more done... not all the way done yet as we want to try to keep the kids and dog (and us) as safe as we can for as long as we can. It would be a long fall if someone lost their balance at the top of the stairs. We already like the new look better and the posts you see are just the 2x4s that were in the wall. Wait until the white balusters are up!

In this photo, it is not snowing in the house. The white stuff you see is drywall dust lit by the camera's flash...



Ok, done for the night. We've left the posts up and tomorrow, we'll have to cut them off.
