We managed to get the floor done just in time for our visitors last week. There is a small piece at the bottom of the stairs that we have to figure out as well as a small strip near the far wall where the last row ended up leaving a gap (we were supposed to end with a full plank width, but there’s a couple inches left to fill). We moved our futon down there (where we were planning for it to go anyway) and set up a couple cots for extra sleeping space for our guests.
We still have some wiring to do, a ceiling to figure out what to do with (it had been previously finished with drywall, so there’s leftover glue and such on the exposed floor joists – we’re thinking drop ceiling, but there is some ductwork to work around), and lots of trim work (most likely rough sawn wood boards, ideally from our own forest).
