We converted the front house from a duplex to single family, then added an ADU at the back. So many fun details on this project I don’t know where to start.
First, Here is the new ADU. The landscape work is underway, so stay tuned. Note the castle post from previous blogposts.
Here are three of the kitchen

The painted ridge beam went in this week. You can see, if you look closely, another castle post to complement the beam.
We also did a preliminary blower door test to check for airtightness and passed with flying colors
And finally we had a ceremonial sage burning inside the building last night…to bring the good sprits and chase away the bad. Due to the airtightness, the building was still smokey in the morning after the ceremony! (The ventilation system is not yet operational and no windows were open)
