When we first saw our transom window "pearl", we knew she had to be restored.

This window is actually half of a sliding glass patio door, turned sideways.   (Also pictured, a 'New Kids on the Block' fleece blanket that was being used for curtains)

Layers, like an onion.

House without a back wall.

Many, many siding layers.

Waiting on a new roof

When we discovered remnants of the original window pediments underneath the siding layers, we decided to re-create the missing details.

Back wall stabilization.   This is where a former rear addition attached to the original house.  Addition was torn down by previous owners in a failed flip attempt.

Removal of the 'picture window' during framing.

Sheathing the newly framed back-wall with top-quality plywood

New landscaping & sod.   

The black-rock stones were carefully unstacked from the demolished addition, and reused for hardscaping.

The Non-original original staircase.

This was cobbled together with scrap wood by a previous owner.  quite possibly the sketchiest staircase to date.

The infamous Hockey-stick window, an engineering masterpiece!
