When you buy an old house you hope to find neat things left by the previous owners. Sometimes the things you find make you sad... like a horrific excuse for an electrical system and Asbestos pipe wrap. Other times you find awesome stuff!
When we first looked at the house I noted that there were some doors up in the garage attic. At some point I went over and confirmed they were the Pantry door and the swinging Kitchen door that lead to the dining room. More on that later...
The "find" if you will came about when Becky and I were standing in the basement trying to figure out where the rest of it was. The basement isn't quite as large as the footprint of the first floor and we were trying to figure out why. This lead Becky outside to try and figure out where that missing space was. The next thing I heard from her was, "There are doors under the porch." This confused me quite a bit as we weren't really missing any doors. So outside I went to take a look. I was presented with this..
The side opening of the front porch with the guard thing removed.
