New Bedroom

March 2nd. The new bedroom addition has been sealed and the ductwork installed.

This is the view from what will be a small hallway leading to the room, with entry from a new doorway in the upstairs landing. You can see the plumbing for the washer/dryer on the right. Everything has it 's space on this job, and there is very little left over!

Ducts are insulated as they run through the ceiling and attic.


Old to new.



One of the biggest goals we had in achieving this project was to finally connect the upper half of our house to the central heating system. Up until now we have lived with only a single register in the upstairs hallway, making for some very chilly nights! You can see here that we had to sacrifice a small part of the corner of the bedroom for the HVAC stack, but we believe it's more than worth the loss of space. At the conclusion of the project, all of the upstairs rooms will have their own registers.










Twin skylights above the bed will be nice.








A somewhat jarring sight. Old roof meets new addition.








Drywall is here.

















This will be a small nook for books, artwork, cell phones, etc. A small can light in the ceiling will provide illumination.
