THIS WAS A FUN "LITTLE" PROJECT. THE BIG CHALLAGE HERE WAS HOW TO MAKE AN ADDITION THAT IS BIGGER THE THE EXISTING HOME LOOK LIKE IT BELONGS THERE. HALF WALLS WERE USED ON THE SECOND STORY TO REDUCE THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE ROOM. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HEAD ROOM UPSTAIRS THE ROOF WAS STICK-FRAMED, OR FRAMED ENTIRELY BY HAND WITH NO PRE-MANUFACTURED TRUSSES, THIS ENSURES MAXIMUM YIELD AS FAR AS CEILING HEIGHT GOES. BY BRINGING THE GABLE OVER THE ROOF LINE SLIGHTLY THE NEW SECTION DOESN'T LOOK AS OBVIOUS. SKYLIGHTS AND SPECIALTY WINDOWS IN THE UPPER FLOOR ADD LIGHT AND CHARACTER. THE NEW DECK SURROUNDED WITH LATTICE MAKES THIS JOB COMPLETE.
