This home once had a “mother-in-law” apartment in the upstairs rear wing, with a funky set of exterior stairs in the tight space between the house and the garage. The owners asked me to remove the stairs and landing, replace the second-floor door with a window, and design and build a new doorway, deck, and stairs that would give them access to the rear yard. The photos below are “before and after” with just a bit of finished work left to do. Thanks to Tim Gillette for his assistance.
