Photos of the 1998 addition to our home in Niles, Michigan
The 6' evergreens in the foreground are 40' ones you see below in the 1999 pictur
The addition included a 10' x 21' front addition (we call it a Foyer) and a 13' x 26' rear addition (that included a kitchen expansion and an additional bathroom). The old roofing was stripped of the entire house and all new roof installed. New Clay color vinyl siding is nearing completion with heavy vinyl Cedar Shakes installed in the gable ends. New 200 AMP underground electrical service was installed at the front of the house. The first work on the addition was started Sept 20, 1998.
The front door has moved 10' to the east and the highest part of the roof is now 5' higher. The field stone facing will be installed 2' around each corner at the front bedroom. Also 2' each side and under the rectangular front picture window. The stone will cover the entire wall where the curved top window is installed. More stone will also be installed on the driveway east side all around the garage door and 2' around the corner of the family room east wall. The stonework is not done in this view. The stonework was started Feb 19 and was completed Feb 26. See page 4 for the finished views.
The front porch is a wooden deck. Later we will build a curved sloped ramp up to the front porch deck. We intend to fill in the space between the ramp and the house with a deck. The ramp will start at the driveway and enable handicap access to the front entrance of the house.
The view is thru the archway where the two kitchen windows used to be.The foyer has a vaulted ceiling with the center part being 10'-6" high.
