I am doing an 1847 Captains house on the water in Somerset. Full gut, all three floors. Removed all plumbing, wiring, and reframed all walls. New windows, siding and roof. In the process of drywalling and plastering. I have been working on the stairs, getting them in before they drywall the entry ways. What a night mare! Nothing is square, and the winders are supposed to be 30 degrees but are not even close. The second floor to third has a 8 5/8" run and a 8 1/2" rise. Talk about steep, but the building inspector has been really helpful with us. Letting me duplicate what was there and not busting my beans.

That’s code... alter a non conforming building system to better but not worse or rebuild to the same
No it all :-) |
