Q: Are split-level and a split-floor plan the same thing?

This was a tough project, I have an incredibly hard room to work on as it's angled from ceiling to floor and none of the studs are straight from the prior owner. I didn't hear Jaden complain at all and it looks like a completely different room. I can't thank him enough!
