Phase 1 Plan

Layout for the New Addition (Master Bedroom and Bathroom)

We met with our designer (Renee) on the layout for the first phase of our remodel. The first phase will be the new addition off the back of the house.

Renee had prepared two different options for us. One option had the bedroom area of the addition at the back of the addition, and the second option had the master bedroom at the first part of the addition (just beyond the existing wall).

After reviewing the two options, we decided that we liked having the master bedroom part as the first thing that you enter from the existing house, and the bathroom part at the back of the addition. We made a couple of other small changes as we discussed the layout with Renee (like making the new porch longer and at the same height as the existing porch).

Now that we have a plan for the first phase, the next step will be to get some cost estimates from the contractors. At the moment, we have two contractors from which we want to get some cost estimates. Based on what we get from them, we may decide to get one more, or go ahead and select a contractor and get the ball rolling.
