Speaking of the SoCal house, our next work-cation is one month away. I was preparing my worklist for the trip yesterday morning. Can't wait to get there! |
Hopefully smaller than my list...
As for the header, it was definitely from the original 1961 build! No evidence in the studs on either side showing a nailed in full header and the siding is all original and it's an original layout.. I've lived in the house since '89 and the original owner bought it new. She was my MIL's first cousin. We have pics of the back of the house from back in the day.
