Rail Removal/Wall Construction

Shot of original stairway looking up at iron railing.

 

Another shot of iron railing from upstairs angle. Although this is here as a safety feature. it's not safe at all. I'd claw at the floor before reaching for this to save myself from going over.

 

This shot features the back of the tv and entertainment center. We actually had black curtain over the rail behind the tv and to the sides to hide this mess. It is nice to have access to the back of all the components from here.
 

Here is the beginning of framing for wall. Some advice here would be to check all your lumber at the store before you buy it. Their weren't two straight two by fours in the bunch rendering this project impossible to square from the get go.
 

Here is another shot of framing. Notice a larger area being left directly behind entertainment center. Putting in access panel here.
 

This view is from the back of center looking over stairs. a
 

Here is the wall with the previously mentioned access area. Cover panel hanging on other side of wall. A picture frame will cover access from this side.
 

Wall completed. Awaiting top and shelving to be installed.
 

A shot from stairs to show new wall from below. This paneling will be carried down along stairs as well.a
 

Here is a shot of the shelves and top installed and primed. a

 

Another angle shot of the primed shelves and top.
