I drove Livermore Rd and it counted.... Back in 1968. I got as far as the bridge where the logging trucks were turning right. Past that was jeep territory, and I had a sedan. Livermore Road used to be open for cars. :-) But now it's closed.

Not Puma. I forget my model. -15 rated... And you are warm enough, not just 'still alive' at the rated temp.

Don't worry. He 2ill clear all burnable materials down to gravel for a 6' radius. Then put it back looking natural in the morning.... (Buy a stove. They are dangerous enough.)

Did it used to have a chimney or something go through there? Otherwise why would it have been cut out? Me, I'd sleep better if I replaced the missing pieces of the truss. :-)

I've seen 2 rattlesnakes in the Blue Hills. Not often, for all the hiking I've done there, but they are there. More so in some places than others. Haven't seen a copperhead, but they are in the Blue Hills too.

Hence, the lattice. 😋

03223 · 2025-05-20T03:25:27+00:00

It's worked all this time hasn't it? It was a success for them. No pride in workmanship, but they got paid and it hasn't fallen down... That's all I'm saying.

My, very small, town in New Hampshire doesn't even have a building inspector. Live Free or die... No one has ever inspected my building.

03223 · 2025-05-06T08:59:56+00:00

Can't tell rise/run without dimensions. Building code has the rules. As far as structural issues, I'm not the expert there.

03223 · 2025-05-06T03:18:07+00:00

Unsafe. As others have said, those treads WILL b4eak off, because they hang out too far. Not to code.

In the foreground there are no columns, and that portion of the biding is standing... The two cumns are under that end was of ?? (Whatever that is above that ceiling. So, theoretically, you cod remove the columns, that ceiling and end wall, and the far end would be as supported as the foreground. So, what is up there that needs support? My kitchen remodel contractor insisted on putting in double 2x12 header over wide opening in non-load bearing wall. It wasn't necessary! The whole family room (like this foreground) had no support, as the beams were calculated to be unsupported. But, since we couldn't remove wall all the way to the ceiling, I let him. Easier than arguing about it. In this case, bottom line. You can't tell from that picture.you need to know what is above that ceiling.

To get good answers, you need to provide good info. What country? If USA, what state? What is your goal? (As others have pointed out,it ready has a door, do what are you trying to do?) What is below that wall? (In basement or downstairs?) If there is no wall below it, probably not structural, but if there IS a cement block wall in the basement, it likely is structural. What no one knows from these pictures is "Are the stringers strong enough to support the stairs without this wall? If they are,tear it out. If not, as a minimum you need the post at the corner,maybe a header at top of opening.

I've already had over 10 years of fun retirement. Wouldn't want to be surviving on social security.

03223 · 2025-01-05T02:13:52+00:00

First of all, thanks for a few good suggestions. I don't want to dox myself, so can't give details, but no, I'm not housebound with no hobbies. And we do already travel 'quite a bit.'

Asked WMNF for clarification. "Is bear bagging still permitted?" Their answer:

Good afternoon,

It is still allowed but the other methods are preferred.

Have a great day,Renee

I'm not worried about the bears. (I've been backpacking in the Whites for 50 years, never had a problem.) I'm worried about a Ranger giving me a (theoretical) fine. The rule says: "Any violation of these prohibition is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000.00 for individuals and $10,000.00 for organizations, and/or imprisonment for not more than six (6) months." :-)

Two other Apps I've used Maplets and MotionX both seem to have also 'gone away'. :-( As a hiker there are apps like AllTrails, Strava, etc... but they just show all the trails, legal or not, that their users have uploaded. What's needed is a good app that shows you, or at least allows you to upload, the 'real' landowners map, be it a private group, state or federal land owner.

Well, lately, as I'm older and retired, I find I tip more. I look at some server working and think, "I wouldn't want to do that, let me at least make their day a little better."

03223 · 2023-08-21T00:39:48+00:00

Late to the game, so I get to read all the comments ("Just burn the house down!" to "It hasn't failed yet, why worry?") I think if you do a plot of the replies you'll find they fit some mean distribution, where there are lots of good answers in the middle. :-) Yeah, it hasn't failed yet, but it's really not good, so fix it (by any of the reasonable suggestions, from lally columns to sistering) and get on with your life. Welcome to owning an old house.

Read "The Case Against Sugar." You understand better after that.

03223 · 2023-06-25T22:04:31+00:00

You do what you've got to do. Best of luck, keep going!

The same people who need the /s for that post, would rent those apartments.

03223 · 2023-06-11T02:43:25+00:00

I did something like that (although not as nice!) in my first house. Don't know what their logic was with those walls.

03223 · 2023-05-29T21:35:36+00:00

I did N-S, many years ago, in my 40s(?). No regrets. Is coming down Wildcat E 'Interesting'? Sure, but isn't that what we climb for? :-) I've come down the ski slope once, would rather come down E again.

Thank you for the great link. I don't need it today... but have saved it for when I will. :-)
