The stairwell

BEFORE

Open house the first day we saw it.

Anton scoping out the dodgy steps from the basement to the pool.

Stairs from the second floor to the pool, now the location of our stairwell.

DURING-DECONSTRUCTION

Out come the old basement pool stairs.

We made use of the old pool stairs for a temporary entry, while the stairwell was being built......Richard put them in, look how crooked they are. Even Guinness the poor blind dog knew they were unsafe, we had to fight him to go up them.

Out with the old and in with a nice big open space.

The steel beam replacing the stairs.

DURING-CONSTRUCTION

Framing

Sheetrock, sorry Mum, no Fortunato in these pictures.

PRESENT DAY

We still need to add another flight of stairs and paint, but I am just happy it is functional.

Vertigo anyone?

French doors to the porch.

Door out to the pool.

White on white on white....love it.
