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!)
Here is a small collection of before shots:

During a break in the rain today John and the backyard ceramic studio owner made some samples of charred cedar siding. Very exciting.
The layer of charred wood on the exterior will make the siding more durable, in addition to looking very nice. Thanks to Christian Palino for the photos.

There is a spot for everything in this mudroom – Shoe cubbies below, ample storage for scarves, dog leashes, hats, and bags under the bench seats (solid ash), and lots of pegs on the wall.
