upstairs tour, finally

Hey, come on...let's go upstairs.

Check out them new stairs.  They're (relatively) the same height and that black stuff is new slate.  A little lucky strike extra from Augusto.  I'm sure the cost of those were covered in the bomb that we paid him for his work, but, heck, doesn't everyone just feel good when he can pretent to give me a gift and I can pretend to get something for free?

Come on in the room....

Look left...

to see David's new office, the new stairs and all the old shit we still haven't found a place for yet.

Look right..

Well, you don't see anything because we are standing 2 inches from a wardrobe..

Look up...

That's the underside of the new loft.

Come on, let's go in the loft...

through the living room....

and up the new stairs... Careful you don't slip on those, they tilt in 2mm.

welcome to the new bedroom...

At night we can stare out this window from bed and see the stars...

'Course during the day you can just see all the white trashy goodness that is our backyard.  (Note to self:  clean that shit up before mom and dad come to visit)

Let's look down on the living room...

Let's look at our feet while we sit on the end of the bed...

Ok, that's enough of that.  Let's go back down.

I'm particularly fond of the new floor, not just because it's level but because it's frickin beautiful...

Augusto left his signature on this work of art...

Yep, a beer ring stain right there in my frickin beautiful floor.  Thanks, Pal, nice touch.

And finally, the newly couch-free kitchen...

That's about that.
