Description
Restored wall above and to the north of the ground-level DeTurk kitchen door with replacement north hood outlooker. Details include: pegged mortise-and-tenon joint between the doorway lintel and north jamb, checked timber, filleted bead{1} molding on interior edges [“arrises”] of the door jamb and lintel.
Final pointing will conceal the end-grain of the "ripped" inch at the bottom of the embedded portion of the outlooker, which is set one-inch above the level of the recent [deflected] height above the doorway lintel in order to level it with the south outlooker, which was lowered one-inch by cutting away ["rip-sawing"] the top inch from its projecting segment and the bottom inch from its embedded segment. The bottom of the projecting portion is now at the same vertical separation [approximately 4"] from the lintel as is the south outlooker [See DTR09PH108--1001.01.204.
