| This project began when the client wanted a
new family room. We consulted with the client and our architect drew up the
necessary code-compliant building plans to meet the client's needs. This picture was
taken prior to the beginning of construction. |

|
| Construction
begins with excavation of the site. In this case, the client desired a full basement
under the addition, for storage, so the hole must be deep enough to accommodate this. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
foundation is constructed from 12 inch concrete block. Foundations of this type may
also be poured concrete using molds, but for this job is was more cost effective to use
concrete block. |

| Framing of the room begins with building
the box which will be the floor of the structure. |

|
|
|
| Once the rough
framing is competed, the structure is enclosed with plywood, both on the roof and the
walls. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The roof is matched to the
existing structure to ensure that the addition will always appear consistent with the
original house. Window areas are also framed. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
roof is completed and is nearly an exact match to the one on the existing house. The
outside of the structure is wrapped with Tyvek, a weather barrier and the exterior trim
work has been completed. |
