These flakes were from the Hercules snow storm. The first snow of the year. They were HUGE, perfect snowflakes. I could have stayed outside and taken pictures all afternoon. Then you could confirm who the flake really was.
With the wall to the living room removed, the next wall to go is the one to the dining room. (Please notice some of the new sub flooring in the dining room.)
However, upon further inspection, Walt Kowalski decided the ceiling above the staircase needed attention first. This particular spot is the entrance to the attic and needs support from below. To build a support wall, the wall to the stair case needed removed.
As it turns out, the handrail wasn't that secure and wasn't difficult to remove. Most of the spindles were already broken, missing, or loose. Originally, I wanted to sand and remove the paint from the old handrail and spindles, but upon further review, it wasn't worth the time and effort.
The previous owners cut a not so nice door in the wall underneath the stairs to the basement. With all of the holes drilled and cut into structural places, we are amazed that the house hasn't fallen in.
The burn pile grows!
If only it happened as quickly as it does in the photos.
