Chittenden Bank's Spiral Stairs
We removed this old spiral staircase from a house in Bellows Falls. Originally it was a staircase at the Chittenden Bank's Essex branch office. We're rehabbing and planning to put it in our unit.
After the Oak treads were removed, we sanded and prepared to refinish them.
Ok, ok. We know. This duplex renovation project that started in September 2007 still continues. Chapin's four month sabbatical (from Sept 2007 - January 2008) seems like a distant memory. Remarkably, we still like each other. Here are recent pictures from the project.
We chose the name "green house" because 1) we're painting the house green, 2) we're incorporating many green technologies in the construction and 3) we're thinking it makes a good name for our potential B&B.
