Phase 2: Bye bye stairs & ceiling!

My apologies for not posting this earlier in the week. But it has been a busy week. 

These guys agree. They have been back in Demo Phase, taking out the stairs and the ceiling on the third floor.  


It's bizarre seeing only half the stairs in place. My eyes want to fill in the blank space,


Don't look down, friend! And then there was only the marking on the wall indicating where the stairs once were.


The view from floor one up to the roof's skylight.



In order to add support to the roof, the third floor ceiling had to be removed. This way the roof joists can be sistered properly. 


The joists for the ceiling are below the roof joists. This woodwork has been in place since the building was built in 1890. It's fascinating to see the inner workings of our home.


Look at that ceiling height now. We are already planning on using the extra height when possible.
