the man cave

I was a bit intimidated by the steep stairs leading up to our attic (aka 'the man cave'.) This morning when I left for work there were no stairs, just a hole in the ceiling from the second bedroom. I get home and there's a staircase. Super cool.

If you ever come to visit and you are allowed entry to the man cave here's a tip. Don't look down.
It's so big up there. I love it. Today I finally feel like it's all coming together and that these months of living in putrid dust and grime will be worth it.


And now for a quick look at where we're up to.
