What happens when you demolish too much of your stairwell - livingroom view
Date: 03/12/2007
Stairwells are much more difficult to remove paneling and drywall than a regular wall. There are so many corners and details where things like to stick into. So when you get a chance to knock out two walls at the same time (where the stairs double over them selfs) you just go to town. How ever you must remember to stop at a certain height or else you bust through the upper stairwell
