Wooden Railings
Oops – Wood needs some adjustment here
This is why we are doing this
There you see it, wood railings all over
The Private Stairs
So what’s it like? These pictures should show it off nicely: The added stairs also mean that the terrace can get some immediate use for laundry
The Private Terrace
It’s time to figure out how to build our way up to the private terrace in the North-West room. We’ve decided to do it the simplest way possible. All wood steps fastened on both sides to the two walls. Exciting!
Floating stairs seems scary – but why not?
Look at that! Starting to resemble our 3D mockups now
Electrical time
In order to move the electrical boxes we were required to turn off the power leading into the yard. In order to turn off the power we needed a key to the power box. If you want to get the key, you have to pay the local government roughly 2000RMB for them to open the box, shut the power down and move the electrical boxes. This took 3 people a few hours to do, but while we oversaw the work we got a chance to capture photos of the yard from some unique angles.
