Let's Get This Party Started!

I am SOOOO nervous! We are less than a month away before ripping off our roof and starting our construction project!

Greetings! Life is ever so crazy here in D-Town. Kat and I are gearing up for adding 600 square feet to our home: going up. We are popping our top, and extremely excited AND nervous about the new adventure. I will work to keep you all posted with our updates as things develop. Right now our drawings are into the City of Aurora for building permit review, and I am working hard to get our budget down to the $45-50k mark. Whew!

Here's a computer rendering of our house as it will look with the addition:


We are adding 600sf of Master Bedroom space: a bedroom, a sitting area/TV viewing area, a master bathroom and closet. We kid around that it will be a no-kid, no-dog allowed area! Here's an interior perspective of the new space:

You can see the long room at the top: that's our bedroom and sitting area spaces. The deck off of the back will have a great mountain view. The fireplace in the middle will be a great addition to the home! The closet is on the bottom left, and the master bath is the one with the tub in it :-)

So keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we venture down this new experiece. We hope all will go well, and we'll keep you posted as we move along!

By the way, our renovation project will be aired on the Do-It-Yourself Network (DIY), on a show called "Sweat Equity" hosted by Amy Mathews. I will keep you posted as the shooting progresses and let you know when the air date will be. We are expecting it to air sometime in September. Ciao! XOXOX

If buildings were people. This addition would be a cancerous ulcer needing to be removed. Unbelieveable an architect would ignore the qualities of proportion, massing, and symmetry.
