First real finished thing

While I may say that Eva and Will's rooms are finished, they aren't. Will still has no curtains and there is still trim and doors to paint. BUT, the stairs are finished. Not perhaps the most auspicious project, but they are the first thing you see when you come in the house. They did have carpet on them - this went on day one. We patched holes, had them sanded, caulked the crap out of them, and painted. Rinse, repeat. Also quickly restained the banisters.
