We have new stairs! Hahaha this should really be Chris' blog post since I wasn't even there but, well, he doesn't write ;-P And since I was fairly fascinated by this whole thing, I'm stealing his pictures. Given that I wasn't there, the story will be either super light or entirely fictional -- I haven't decided which yet ;)
Once upon a time there was a house. It was an older house that had been, shall we say, modified. A few times. And in this house was a flight of stairs. The stairs were narrow and steep. They had a turn at the top, designed in such a way that if you happened to slip in that section would lead to a pretty substantial drop -- before you'd plummet the rest of the way down said steep stairs.
In an entertaining example of structural design, these stairs blocked a window. The window did, in fact, allow some light into the dark ally that was the staircase. And, presumably, into the closet beneath. But it was awkwardly positioned.
It was deemed that in the new amazing house-to-be, this staircase had no role. And thus, it had to disappear. Kinda wanted to watch that, but alas real life called and I was at work. Fail. But magic happened and volia!

| This tunnel used to be our staircase... |
Okay so that's the largest ladder we own… hmmmm Here's hoping new stairs make an appearance :)
So in what used to be the kitchen, construction commenced… Sharks' teeth that would eventually transform into safe, normal sized, stairs. Awesome.
While admittedly still a tunnel, at least now it's a comfort-lane-sized tunnel. And the death drop at the top has been eliminated. Sadly, so has Sasha and Tucker's sleeping space, but I feel like they've got more comfortable ones ;)

So now it seems when I go home on the weekend there'll be all sorts of civilized stairs! Apparently no electrical ;-P but that's a story for another post. For now, we celebrate the stairs. Woohoo!

Not only did we get new stairs, we also got new walls :) Sweet!
