kids enjoying the roofdeck
This Poets Corner remodel with small addition turned out great. (Thanks in part to the good taste of the owners and the skill of Coleman Building.) Nancy Kalter came with me to the house warming party and took some house in action shots. It was afternoon on a very sunny day.
First here is the before and after first floor plan. (Roof deck remodel upstairs (plan not shown) is big enough for the whole family to sleep out under the stars and also a vegetable garden!)
