In this episode of True Tales From Old Houses, Stacy Grinsfelder and Daniel Kanter are back with fresh updates, big plans, and a tangent or two.

First, Daniel gives an update on his ongoing duplex renovation, including the latest challenges and progress in the basement and foundation work—because structural integrity is kind of a big deal.

Meanwhile, Stacy updates everyone on her staircase restoration—and while she insists she's not a perfectionist, well… let's just say the results suggest otherwise.

But it's not all sanding and structural repairs! Stacy and Daniel are gearing up for an architectural pilgrimage to Scottsdale, Arizona, where they'll visit Taliesin West, soak up some Frank Lloyd Wright inspiration, and record new podcast episodes on location. You're invited! (more details soon)

Finally, because every True Tales From Old Houses episode comes with an unexpected side quest, the conversation somehow veers into skiing—because the only thing more terrifying than structural issues is flying downhill at 40 mph on purpose.
