Today was all about the wood floors & figuring out that last column. We changed our internet and home phone provider that day too so between dealing with the column and the installer coming I had to be home all day. The boys played in the cul-de-sac until about 2pm! Bubbles, bikes, snacks, sidewalk chalk, playing with the neighbor kids... In the afternoon we played board games inside, cleaned their room and of course the boys kept an eye on the workers :)
The remaining column. They replaced what was there with some big boards (2x6's). At one point we were told that we might be able to take it out too. We called the engineer and he wanted to see how far the LAM beams went, so we had a guy tear into a wall.
In looking up you could see that the LAM beam was still up there, but you couldn't see how far it went. We decided that we would rather just keep the column to be safe rather than tearing up more walls (and have to fix them) and possibly have to keep it anyway.

This is how it was when they left at 6pm.

Entry - they got the edges for all of the steps in... it is finally starting to come together, love it!
Standing in the corner of the kitchen looking out.
Then at 7pm we had a knock at the door. The main construction guy wanted to re-enforce the column with a top plate and thicken the column so it is now square..
