O.K., this isn’t a completely new opening, but rather a significantly modified opening.

The BEFORE interior shot.

Admittedly, there are those who would feel that removing this window assembly & the built-in cabinet assembly…

…on the interior side was a crime. But in our defense, we would proffer the fact we were only doing…

…what we were paid to do.

We were going to turn the job down, but then we thought well, at least we could insure that work done was on par with the quality of the original work…

…even if the materials could never match the original old-growth materials that were probably used.

O.K., well, we weren’t really thinking of turning the work down. It just seemed the thing to say in response to those who understandably…

…might be going “awww” over the notion of removing the original wood-windows & the woodwork in those cabinets. Yes, it was a pathetic attempt at humor.

But it’s the best we can do, given the subject matter.

Please note; we really did do our very best in making the opening look as original as possible.
