On the utility room where the trap door is going to the basement… could you redo the roof to where it is now flat and then put an outside patio on it. This can then be your ‘yard’ where you can go sit in morning to drink your coffee or in evening to have wine. If done right, you can have small garden planters where you can grow herbs & veggies

Ryan wants to be able to transform old properties like Billy does, and Billy can encourage that…and give guidance. They make each other brighten up when they are together, and often have a shared esthetic for what a space can become. Ryan helps Billy in the ways he can, and Billy knows how to inspire Ryan to stretch his wings, and try new things. They make me think of Siblings, one stable and driven, the other a bit of a prankster, who puts on a performance of humour, yet truly appreciates the steady skills and inner vision of his older Brother.🖤🇨🇦

While Billy gets an entire vision in his head, and can bring it into life, he has always been a bit self effacing in front of a camera. Ryan is a natural showman, each has a strength the other wishes to develop, and I think they are getting there together. They are both big hearted men, with lots of empathy and love, and they don’t keep a scorecard…we have seen each of them drop their own project to help the other, and I think that just might be the tie that binds.🖤🇨🇦

I'm guessing that the damaged arch in the kitchen, behind the living room fireplace, is where the stove/range/cooker originally was and could be again. The space next to that, with the shelf ghost marks, was the pantry. I don't know what the other recess was, but it could be a good place for a fridge. That would open up floor space and make room for modern conveniences.
