Below is the floor plan showing the scope of our addition.

We are adding about 325 square feet to our house; the new construction is shaded in blue below. The new area includes a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and an accessible (universal design) shower room.

The existing master bedroom and master bath — shaded in tan — are being enlarged and remodeled.

Elsewhere in the house, we are replacing the HVAC system, refurbishing the quilting studio, updating the guest bathroom, and replacing our deck with a ground-level patio.

A major goal of the project is to make our home a comfortable place for our retirement years, not to mention finally getting the washer and dryer into the same room!

Our contractor on the project is Wesson Builders.

The area shaded in blue is new construction. The tan area is being updated and reconfigured.
