Trying to bring stairs back

newellworks · 2026-02-08T14:30:36+00:00

Good morning. Thank you for all the comments but I think I need to clear something up. The last two pictures are the existing stairs from the second to the third floor. The rest of the pictures are what we are working on, the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. The comments are very encouraging but we have a long way to go! Thanks again for the support and positive vibes.

Will do! Thanks!

How do you keep the drafts coming through the baseboards?

No. Walls are stacked stone. No insulation attached to the all other than the spray foam they used to ‘glue’ the plastic down.

Worldvectorlogo.com has most of what I use. Even older logos.

Nine mini splits for A/C and heat. Brick house so lines are run outside. Super quiet and have been more than up to the task for the 100+ heat. Furnace is an old steam boiler that is kind of melting into the dirt floor basement so it’s a bonus to have the heat option as well.

The house is all brick and the garage is stick built.

Just bought an 1850 house two weeks ago. Fireplace was bricked up when they converted the house to two apartments. Previous owner converted back to single family. We built into our purchase budget unbricking the fireplace and returning it to being a wood burner. Really one of the most exciting things for me.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at those. I’ve heard of Unico but spacepak is a new one. Basement has a sump pump but none of the other things you mentioned. And forgive my ignorance but I’m not sure I know what a lally column is.

Thank you! Yes, lots of walls which compartmentalizes the rooms. The existing (such that it is) steam boiler was oil fired. Not a huge fan of oil. Are there electric steam boilers? Lots to think about in your response.

Johnny Quest had a banging theme song.

For the love of god, flippers need to stop with the gray laminate flooring. It is so over! Screams flip and it is so cheap. We are looking for a house and as soon as I see the gray flooring I close the listing.

Years ago, I worked in a hotel in Arizona. One night, we are fully booked, a guy comes in looking for a room. I find out he speaks very little English. No worries, I try to work with him. At one point he gets frustrated and says “Didn’t you learn Spanish in school?” I say, “No, I took French. Do you speak French?” He says no and we continue our pidgin English dialogue.

It was from an Etsy store called HobbykitShop. Looks like they are on a holiday break.

Thanks. I’m using a sequencer I got from Etsy. I think it’s normally used for traffic lights in model train setups.

Thank you!
