We gained about 250sq/ft of living and storage space for the HO,including a two walk in closets ,and an extended hallway, which allowed the bedrooms to be larger and got some natural lighting into an otherwise dark area.

The addition was for two bedrooms over a 1 1/2 car garage and extended kitchen.
It seemed like a lot of work and expense (with all the jogs in the floor plan)so we chucked the plans when we got to the second floor and roof line.
Is the roof viable to the left part of this original home or roof line?

The way it was drawn,all the rain from part of the new roof and some from the old would have ended up on a kind of cricket that would have been only a 2/12 pitch ,on a sunless side of the house.
We had to extend the rear section of the addition out to the end of the existing house and then continue the the existing roof line to get water away from the area.This ended up giving them a walk in closet for the smaller bedroom(12x12)
I don't know what this guy was thinking when he drew up these plans!It didn't cost me any more to make the changes since HO paid for material and it actually took one of the jogs out of the floor plan.The floor/ceiling joists were there anyways,I just had to install a couple extra sheets of decking.

I'll be out there early next week to start the siding,so I'll get some shots of what we did.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Pretty much done with my part. The toekicks were done after the picture and the countertops went in today. The hole in the wall on the right of the oven cabinet was filled in. The cooktop unit and the oven unit went in the day after I took photos. The HO will be hand painting the cabinets with oil based BM Navajo White. We drilled all the bin pulls and door knobs but they wanted them no installed so they could paint. Fine by me. We installed the crown, they had a 3 1/2" crown picked out and waiting for us, I told them it was too big, it would look like crap. So I told them about 2 1/2" crown would be fine, and they were very pleased with the size after it was up. I was so glad they changed it. So far they are tickled pink at how it is coming out.

Some photos. Would like to go back down after it is finished. Should pull it all together.







Here is the side of the refrigerator panel I didn't get last time.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Earlier this week I installed a Maya Romanoff product called Geode. It consists of glass bead affixed to a paper backing. Tough to cut, even tougher to get to seam together. It was installed on the back wall of a book case.

Yesterday I installed 2 murals in a store front under construction. The GC had hired a hack who put up one piece and gave up and walked off the job.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


The product was a material made by Korographics named Revolve. It is made of recycled and reclaimed wallpaper. The stuff is very thin and stretchy. I pasted it with a very thin layer of Roman's Pro-774 strippable clay with a paste machine. It was a tough hang, but double-cut nicely. Total of 895 sf.

That would be cool to have in a sports bar.

I hung some last year & it was fun. Had to measure the exact length/width & cut each strip from the back. Then install the strip without any additional triming from the front.

I was lucky, it was a small accent wall, no outlets & square.

Re: Post A Picture Of Your Current Job.


Well I hope this counts, design & drafting is my profession now. The HO wants me to do the job too but I am thinking maybe yes, maybe no.
I'll probably end up doing it though.
