Well, I guess we’re about to get started.
While Zalm was going condo, my wife and I were planning for a little addition–namely, two floors, office below, bedroom above, with two bathrooms. We’ve known for a while that it would be good to have a little more room in our Cape-style house, and this seems to be the best way to go.
In the process, we’re going to accomplish a few goals:
- En suite master bath
- Dedicated office space
- Finished utility room (at last, at long last–no more plaster chunks falling on us in the laundry!)
- Fixing the drainage in the back driveway (this will merit a post by itself)
- Removal of the old fixed concrete trash disposal from the backyard.
- And getting more space in this tiny little Cape.
And, you might ask, how much of the work are we doing ourselves this time around?
Um. Well. We’re planning to lay a floating floor in the basement. We’ll certainly plan and assemble the storage ourselves. And I think that’s about it, really. Yeah, this time around we’re planning to let the professionals do the work. Because after the last few projects, I think we know our limitations.
So tomorrow, excavation starts in the back yard for the addition foundation. Photos, I guess, to come…
