Disassembling and Rebuilding a Triang Stockbroker

 

Stripping the Beams

All the beams on the house have been painted with black matt paint, this is going to be removed, as I want to take it back to wood. I plan to stain and wax them, rather than paint. Triang Stockbroker   Triang Stockbroker

The main front panel has one large beam section across the top windows, and one smaller beam panel either side.

This opening panel goes over the garage. The beams have come up really well, and I think they will look good left in natural wood.    

 

New Front Door

With my new style Half Stockbroker, the front door is through the porch into the kitchen. The door was not fitted so I don’t have a picture or what it was like originally. It now has a nice coat of dark green paint.

As with all the hinges, they had a good coat of various paints, I wanted to use as many original parts as I can. So out came my trusty Dremmel fitted with a wire brush wheel I got to work. Some of them were also slightly bent so had to be tapped gently with a hammer to put them back into shape.

Luckily the door had all its original door furniture, door knocker, letter box and door knob. Being a little dull with age, out came the Dremmel again.
