News flash!

The Philo School of Home Repair is proud to announce that the hall and stairway remodeling project which began in April of 2012 is finished.

Done.
Complete.
Looking good.
Ready for use.
A wonder to behold.

To be sure, the effort began with an initial spate of optimism and took 12 months longer than expected, ravished our bank account, and proved to be sexier than any home remodeling project in recorded history. These days, we call the finished product our personal stairway to heaven. (Cue Led Zeppelin music here.) It’s so heavenly, the man of steel has created his own mantra, which he repeats whenever he ascends or descend the stairway:

Oh, it feels so good on my toes.
Oh, it feels so good on my toes.
Oh, it feels so good on my toes.

He’s right. The carpet runner does feel good on the tootsies. And the hardwood floor in the upstairs hall is much cleaner and brighter than the blue-gray carpet it replaced. But, me–I’m just glad it’s finished and am ready for lavish compliments. In case our stairway to heaven as rendered you speechless, appropriate responses are listed below. Please choose one and leave it in the comment box:

A.   That’s the best looking stairway I’ve ever seen.
