Before Pictures Long After The Job Was Finished

 October 09' I'm pictured killing the power in this wall before demo.

 Then look at the surprise inside!

 The renovation quickly becomes a restoration when an architectural feature is found.

 Reworked Pocket Doors from found hardware.

 The little bit of wall left from the demo that once divided up this single family home into two apartments is to help stabilise the sagging steps.

 The treads and risers had begun to pull away from their wall stringer mortises. Also the run had streached out and had to be pushed back uphill. A lot of blocking and a bottle jack brought it back inline.

 Saving these steps instead of ripping them out and installing a new set leaves an important part of this house intact. The handrail was removed and sold decades ago when the house was split up but the new rail (that is in past posts) was carefully researched to keep with-in the period the home was built.
