back on topic...
first of all congrats Rob. I am new to this thread (had not noticed it previously). charming house and looks like youre really giving it a second life!
as you know we also have an old house (built 1910).
we are redoing the kitchen (well, having it redone). they are finishing up demo at this point.
some cool finds:
(1) a window hidden in the wall
(2) some cool bead board on walls and ceiling (since removed)
(3) we always thought the kitchen and the second floor above it were done at same time but with walls removed its clear that the 2nd floor was done some time after the kitchen (the wood is considerably older on the first floor and in the 3rd picture you can see the roof line)
(4) when they hung the second floor.... well lets just say not even close to modern codes. the contractor basically re-framed the support for the 2nd floor (3rd pic)
(5) Rob - it was cool to see your before (the 3D rendering) and after.... looks practically identical. 4th pic is 3D rendering looking from our dining room back into the kitchen through an opening we are having done.
