I’m getting an estimate next week on adding a few rooms to the house. I currently have 1,850 sf and it’s way too small. My plans (if I can afford it) is to add 1,000 sf to the main floor and another 1,000 to the second story. That would give me 3,850 sf total. It would also have a new connected garage. I could live with that.
I live on property with a million dollar view and live in a very modest house.
Happy New Year All!

Looking forward to the project everything you have added to the property has been excellent. The attached garage will be a great addition with your winters.

Yes and it will have a 10x10 foot door so I can put my van inside. I drew some plans for the architect and scaled it back for a 3,200-3,400 square foot total. Making it bigger would require moving the septic system.RetiredSeabee wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 4:58 amLooking forward to the project everything you have added to the property has been excellent.
