Not too far from me is a Victorian farmhouse on a plot that was bought by a developer and development never happened. The house has been abandoned for many years and is beyond repair, but still has many good sections and parts in it. I've talked to some people from the developer and they say help yourself to whatever I want. I think they would be really happy if the place sort of leveled itself and disappeared so they don't have to consider demolition costs.
I am interested in taking out an entire interior staircase; one side is against the interior of an outer wall, the other is part of an interior wall. Trying to disassemble it piece by piece doesn't seem like it would be a viable option.
The stairway would be used to go to my attic. It is exactly the right size, and almost an exact match to my existing back staircase (about the same age).
I would think I'm nuts, but two other people, when I mentioned finishing my attic, both suggested I look for a staircase out of an existing house.
Comments on how to best do this are appreciated.
Thanks as always,
