Cynthia and Gabe Kieffer's 1908 foursquare house has an existing addition in the back that Cynthia and Gabe wish to renovate, mainly in order to gain a full bathroom upstairs. They would also like to renovate the main bath on the main level of the existing addition - making it bigger. The existing passage to the back yard is awkward, so Cynthia and Gabe have thought of making a new door and deck from the back addition that will be closer to their garage. Finally, they would like space for the laundry room in the back addition, if possible.
The feasibility of this project will depend upon the construction cost, and we are aiming at a cost of under $100,000. For this reason, we would like to use the City of Portland's "Minor Dormer Addition" criteria to avoid costly seismic upgrades. Also, we would like to keep the waste stack in the existing location to keep the plumbing cost down.
