oooh that is ugly viewing!!
But..... i can see why the guy has done this.
Golden rule of any restore is to work in whispers... in other words, do as little to the original to gain as much as you can for the end result.
No doubt a decision was made to only remove part of the head rather than the whole side... the logic being that its a smaller peice of timber that needs replacing and therefore we have our " whisper" yes?
But when you start to hear splintering timber and are ripping ply apart then you do have to wonder if the right decision was made... and then the decision to make the process public.. well.. i need say no more! LOL.
In fact.. a much better result with far less labour would have been achieved by replacing the whole side... its very easy to do and then we can call it " restoration"... the technique shown whilst still a restoration of sorts is known as a hack job.
It did say " Low End Restoration"... you cant argue with that.
