Removal of the Death Trap

We began the process of removing the 2nd floor spiral staircase out. It was a little sketchy with 2 young kids running around, so we barricaded it since we've moved in. We have been living at the in-laws for the past 2 weeks, since our 2nd floor has no railing...a bit dangerous for our accident prone Kyle. We think it will be done early next week, so here are a few photos of our progress:
