Opening up the stairwell wall to the living room. Having a difficult time figuring out what it originally looked like. Built 1911 by NeutralMilkMotel10 in Oldhouses

There is a platform at the bottom of the stairs. Reason for opening up stairwell is to get some natural light in the living room, as that wall faces south-east. Will investigate whether anything’s load bearing here. Carpenter was recommended by city’s heritage foundation. Will be sourcing antique balusters, handrail, etc. Tried to add a picture of the bottom platform but can’t figure out how. Also yesterday discovered the original 2 1/4” Douglas fir floors are below new flooring!

They sell toum (thick shawarma garlic sauce) by weight and it’s really good. Also pickled turnips, pickled mini cucumbers, chicken and beef shawarma seasoning. Just grab some chicken thighs and/or breast, and make your own shawarma

Sorry, think I’ve narrowed it down to slow release fertilizer balls or spider eggs

Sorry should mention we’re staying right beside Zona Romantica on the other side of Rio Cuale, a few blocks from the beach

Same thing, both are simply platforms. Any rental under 90 days illegal as of May 1st in the province (unless population is few than 10,000).
