To facilitate the construction, first thing was to sell my (ex DJ) M3.

Two full stories, real staircase going up, and full floor for the second story. Main story will be completely finished. Upgraded electrical throughout for future cooling/heating as well as the future finished 2nd story. We also added plumbing under the staircase for a sink as well as ran the pipes to add a toilet if desired.
