We just started the 8th house in the Oakwood Cottages project. This one is our "bonus" house - it wasn't planned as part of the redevelopment, but recently became available. It sits just across the street from the solar house, 316 Seawell, and it is a shotgun house.
This time I have designed a home that will remain the current size of the house, 704 square feet. This will be a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home. The house has been totally gutted, and will be renovated using as many green construction practices as we can use. It will also be insulated with Icynene Spray Foam so it's sure to be energy efficient to live in - and cozy!
The house was originally built with a pier foundation, so we are adding new footers and a curtain wall foundation. The footers were dug out earlier this week, and since the weather is cooperating with some warm temperatures, we poured concrete today.

The plans for this house call for a beautiful cathedral ceiling in the great room, with exposed ceiling joists. The kitchen will be galley style, and open to the LR. The bedroom will be large - with a large closet. I am hoping we will be able to save all the original heart-pine flooring.

The house will be built to be wheel chair accessible.

It's good to have this house an eco-friendly water system like rainwater tank system.

Always a big job and never easy. The renovation looks like it's on it's way. Good luck.

Outstanding initiative, safety first before anything else is done.

When it comes to renovation all part of the house must need to replace, especially the electrical wiring. If this is the case much better to consult a pro like electrical contractor in NJ
Renovations are almost not at all stress complimentary but it ought to occur a explicit experience on behalf of one and all involved. Electrical is a gigantic part of the sharp and long-term attributes to a mansion and overhaul. If everything is complete well at that moment refusal problems yearn for be as long as up and refusal suspicions or else emergencies yearn for get out of bed. Your company has mentioned all the focal points. Appreciation on behalf of the put up.
