HOME RENOVATIONS can take

jects that can be tackled include:

0 Raising the house and adding a

basement.

© Completely gutting all the interi-
tS :

ors.

design. ;
€) Extending the house or popping
out an exterior wall.

© Adding a second story.

© Adding a room on a new footing.
© Pushing out windows with new
bay windows, greenhouse window
or dormers; replacing all interior
and exterior doors, hardware and
entry ways.

© Finishing an attic.

() Opening up existing space by
removing nonload-bearing walls.

J Adding a glazed sunroom or
deck,

© Remodeling the kitchen or bath-
room,

There are a number of areas one
can focus on when renovating a
house.

Always view the house us a sys-
tem. Doing something to one com-
ponent of the house will effect oth-
crs,

For example, there is no point in
putting in more insulation in the
attic without also doing an upgrade
to the walls, windows, doors and
crawlspaces,

Before taking on any of these or
other projects, plan the renovations
and be sure they fit your budget.
