Well I got the hole in the ceiling cut out (actually it was two holes as it had a double ceiling which I am still trying to figure out how as the Top most ceiling had nominal lumber for the rafters and the bottom ceiling had dimensional lumber, makes no sense that the "newer" ceiling would have the older wood, unless it was made with surplus wood) and the Stair Stringers are in place. Friday I will be picking up the wood for the Stairs themselves so I decided to go up and measure the new rooms. The First room will be about 12 feet wide by 10 feet long and the second room (towards the back of the house) will be 12 feet wide by 15 feet long. I don't understand why there was no staircase put in to begin with, thats a heck of alot of unused space up their.
Wife said I can use the whole upstairs for modeling. WOOOHOOOOOOOOO
So far I have about 12 hours into this and its looking pretty good. Will look better once the stairs are in place and I can walk up them. The floor and Drywall will most like have to wait about a month but that will give me the time to get the excess insulation and ventilation ductwork out (they had at one point in time and air conditioning system that was not part of the furnace but was located in the ceiling and blew the cold air down rather than blowing it up when its in the furnace, so all the original ductwork is still up their).
Its looking promising.
