The old stairway and the worn-out brown carpet that has covered it lo these many decades will soon be history. The gap left by the demolition of the stairs will be filled in and the stair will be relocated in the southeast corner of the room. The available floor space will be dramatically increased and the appearance of the finished room will be much more coherent.
Framing of the walls downstairs has begun and the beginnings of an opening for the new stairs have been cut in the parish hall floor.
A strange thing happened this week. The kitchen door would not open. It wasn't locked and there was nothing blocking it, but it would not open for anything. Were the ghosts finally expressing their opinion about the renovation? It turns out that the process of leveling the parish hall floor by pushing upward on the beams in the basement with temporary supports changed the position of the door in the frame. It will all get sorted out eventually - luckily the kitchen has a back door. Frames for all of the new doors upstairs and down have been delivered.
