The project
The house
A 1950s one-story house with two bedrooms and a family of five.
The plan
Add a second floor with two bedrooms and a bath, and a new stair where the hall closet was.
The build
We reinforced the foundation, framed the new floor and kept the house dry through a wet spring.
The result
Twice the bedrooms and a roofline that looks original.
We stayed in the house for most of it, and they kept the mess to one side of it.
