Home Addition -doubling the square feet

[Sir Henry]

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.

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.

Wonderful project idea. Cool that you drew the plans yourself. Looking forward to watching the project should you go forward with it.
