The Second Floor Bedrooms and Doors
There were no immediate before pictures taken right before starting the gutting of the windows and door
removal work but I will find reference pictures to show the old as compared to the new look. Molding was recreated to maintain the old look as best as possible.
Bedroom 1
This bedroom has two closets to the right. Those doors were stripped and painted.
This door is a pass door into a dressing room per say. The entrance door is to the right of this door. (The above picture)
This set of windows faces the side of the house
And this set faces the front of the house.
This room was the cutting room. The chop saw didn't move from this room, which also has a table saw set up in it.
Bedroom 2 - Dressing Room
Bedroom 2 - Dressing room entrance door. Room 3 door is to the right
Bedroom 2 - The Dressing Room is in the center front of the house.
The Dressing room has 2 single windows ..and YES some work went into the wee hours of the night. Notice the creative use of soda cases.
This wall is in Bedroom 2. It was peeling, scaling and in general bad shape.
Bedroom 3
Bedroom 3 Door viewed from inside the bedroom
Bedroom 3 one set of windows face the front of the house.
And the other set of windows in Bedroom 3 face the opposite side of the house.
Looking at the house, this is the front left corner.
Berdoom 4
Bedroom 4 door.
I can't begin to tell you how cautious one needs to be as not to disturb work already completed prior to doing the door and windows in this room. Furniture, toys, etc.
were moved out and stored until 100 % completion including lead wipe testing.
This bedroom also has a single window facing the rear of the house.
Bedroom 5
Bedroom 5 door from inside the room. NOTE ...ALL doors were special order.
Window set 1. Matresses etc. were removed from the room.
Bedroom 5 - Master window set 2
Bedroom 6
Bedroom 6 - The Office Door from inside
Bedroom 6 closet door molding replaced, door is being stripped.
Bedroom 6 Window set 1 ... sometimes some damage just can't be avoided.
Bedroom 6 window set 2
Bathroom
Bedroom 6 - The Office Door is in the background and foreground is the bathroom.
The bathroom window box is above a staircase down to the kitchen so it is almost 3 feet from the blue wall to the actual window itself. It's easy to lose perspective of these dimensions looking at the picture. The towel bars are 2 feet each and the ceiling height is all of 9 feet. Luckily the box supported my weight and I was able to climb up in there and work.
Kitchen Windows and Back Door
A radiator had to be removed to do the work needed. At the same time the wall under the window
was redone and wainscott covered as will be the rest of the kitchen in the future. The staircase goes
up to the second floor and was used by the servants. The second floor bathroom window well is above
this stairway.
At the top of this staircase is this set of windows that were stripped, sanded and put back in place.
The back kitchen entrance door was replaced as was the jam and molding.
