In an attempt to actually put my washer and dryer in the back entry hall (instead of the basement), I’ve been forced to knock out the back wall of my only bedroom closet (the machines are too big to fit). That means that, for the moment, you can stand at the front door and see straight through out the back door of my unit:
Of course, after opening up part of the closet wall, we discovered a 1 1/4″ thick iron pipe. It appears that this pipe is part of the disused gas system (from when the house was lit by gas lamps!). However, one doesn’t simply hack apart a potential gas line without doing some pretty careful research… which will further delay this part of the project.
The fun never stops!

Wow! This work is quite impressive! I’m so glad you guys are documenting this work! You should have your own PBS renovation show!
