More press coverage
The remodeling project featured on
HGTV was recently featured in the
San Francisco Chronicle. It's an interesting article about adult children moving back into their childhood homes. Three of the photographs, of the
Miller-Schaefer house, Living Room and Bedroom are used to illustrate the story.
Permits
Exciting news: our project in Fremont has a permit! General happiness and dancing in the streets! (But watch for traffic.) We've been in "plan check" for what has felt like a very long time. But now, with our intrepid contractor already on board, we'll be starting construction in about two weeks.
The project is an addition to a 1960's era ranch house. We're enlarging the Master Bedroom and the Dining Room and adding a Study, Family Room and half bath. Construction should be wrapped up before Christmas, perhaps before Halloween. It depends on weather, availability of subcontractors and material lead times.
Recently Completed
With pleasure, I'd like to present some pictures of a recently completed Kitchen Remodeling. Below is a general picture of the Kitchen. The floors are bamboo. The cabinets along the back wall and side walls are clear maple. The cabinets at the island are stainless steel.
Below is a picture of the Kitchen looking from the back door. The counter at the left and straight ahead is soapstone. The counter on the island is Zodiak.
The cabinet pulls and knobs are hand crafted from recycled glass and recycled aluminum by an artisan in Seattle. The Jade gas cook top, has been set lower than normal. The tops of the gas rings are flush with top of the counter. This is lower than a normal installation. The island counter is also 2 inches lower than a normal counter. Doing these two things resolved some ergonomic problems the owner, who is on the shorter side, had with the old Kitchen.
