    To each their own. If l bought a house with the cable railings, I'd make a video about how to remove it and replace it with what you removed.

    It certainly opened things up and looks nice. Keep the old wooden parts they are so ornamental and can be used for other projects to give it a traditional look. Great video.👍♥️

    It looks phenomenal, but my issue with it is the fact that most insurance (at least, where I live in the region of Quebec, Canada) wouldn't pay if something happened as it is considered a "ladder", so a child could climb up on top of each "ropes" and fall down...
