Old
Houses present special problems
Houses settle as they age. When they settle unevenly, as they did in this older home, there are interesting challenges to remodeling efforts. Here is how we solved the problem in an older house in West Falmouth. The owner asked for a complete remodeling of the ground floor. We opened the kitchen to the living room. We moved a wall and put in a staircase to a new upstairs. We moved the front door from the middle of the living room wall to a space that is now a front hall. Of course, whereever we removed a wall there were gaps in the flooring. In some spots there was patch work to be done because some floorboards had begun to rot. And in the bedroom, the back corner of the house settled a bit more than the rest of the house.
