The timber under the stairs look like they could also be cut-offs, the leftover wood you have when you build something. They could be some he had laying around or that were scavenged from elsewhere. I used to use cut-offs for firewood; they were usually free, and already dry. It only strikes me as strange that they would be under the stairs because it appears there is a storage shed right next to them. Letting wood get rain or snow soaked makes it harder to light. (and in November you have no idea when rain will come through). Which makes me wonder if that wood is still there (that might have had some evidence on it) or has now been burned.
I read there was a kitchen fire at the house in 2010, shortly after the $40,000 permit for construction was issued. So the lumber could be from the structural changes made, new or old left over pieces. Anyway, I think if anything, it may have been the movement of that wood that LE found of interest. Maybe its been moved, to cover any evidence or burned to do the same in the interim. Maybe LE had to move wood to dig the hole, who knows! Wish someone would take a photo of under the stairs now, so we can all see.
Also, the original house showed 4 bedrooms and 1 bath. We know there is one small room on the lower level, so maybe the 3 bedrooms upstairs were 2 over the garage and one an attic room over the main living area. I noticed 2 small windows at the point of the roof line on the right side of the house, and the living room has a lower flat ceiling. Perhaps Dylan's room was the attic room. Older homes and cabins sometimes have those low ceiling bedrooms. Probably carpeted for warm and to reduce ceiling noise.
