The upstairs has been transformed into a workroom. 
Happy consequence #1: the bathroom.
Happy consequence #2: the closet floor is going in. This is just pine - nothing fancy.
While Mike and Ben were thus engaged, Steve built the skirt for the stairs. He took off the temporary treads while he worked.In the meantime, Michael and his crew dug holes out in the lawn for the sonatubes that will support the deck.
This necessitated the use of yet another cool piece of equipment - the enormous augur.
They covered up all the resulting holes with bits of wood to protect them overnight. The next step is filling 'em with concrete.
Jonathan fiddled in the bump out, straightening pieces that had gotten knocked askew. (Note the clamps.) The afternoon's soundtrack: Beethoven's 9th, "Ode to Joy". Yippee!
We picked out doorknobs. As I rifled through the catalogue to show Jonathan what we want, he groused about a client who'd asked for doorknobs with a square mounting plate: apparently this is quite hard to get adjusted so that it's aligned properly and doesn't appear crooked. Much to his dismay, that's exactly what Kevin and I are asking for as well. (Insert evil laughter here.)
