While we are still grappling with the typical regrets about not doing a full demo and starting over with a larger footprint, the rehab is coming along well. Huge gains can be realized in these old houses by a little bit of framing and rework of whatever bad ideas were incorporated into the original design. After the changes are made it can look like it was meant to be from day one, in this case 1959. This stairwell has been subtly modified and fixed to create more light, equal treads, and finally new railings where there used to be walls. All of this adds up to a big impact and also quite a bit of work and expense.
