We discovered the doorway we are putting in was originally there. The strange staircase was some new fangled addition. Nothing that's a big deal except...
When they built the staircase, they cut into one of the joists.
The architect has plotted our next move - support the wall, add in engineered beams and reroute wiring. $1600 more! Great news! (hear the sarcasm?)
In addition, our sewer pipe from the upstairs bathroom runs right through the new doorway to the powder room. I'm sure a reroute will be costly. Luckily, money grows on trees...
