The hole from below

Instant hardwood floors!



Looks real enough.

The hole



I fell through this. It doesn't look it, but it's a 4' drop.

Early furnishing stages


The first coat of paint




Dan is obviously the drummer.

Celina is the lead singer.

I'm like the bassist.

Once it was primed, we took band photos.



Dan and Celina primed, because I fell through the hole like a lovely ballerina.



Early living room


Notice the hole is now covered with a sheet of plywood.
Hindsight, etc. etc.
