Day 27: Working Under Cover

This is the door that used to go from the guest bedroom into the attic closet, above the old garage,  a real head banger. We didn't know there was a window there in the original plans of the house. It will be removed and boarded up. Who wants access through a bedroom???? Not us.

Access to the second story of the new addition will be from the stair landing in the original house, where this window currently is. Again, remains of a previous window in the original house. Underneath the aluminum siding was wooden clapboard and underneath that was planking seen here.

We've nicknamed the second story addition The Tree House. Every window looks either into or over a tree of some sort. The space is very sculptural and as we move along we get more ideas of what we want to do.

The opening to the left of the picture window is where the window to the vestibule will be. The door to enter the house will face our neighbor and the entryway and foyer will have a coat closet and bench for preparing to get in and out of the cold.
