Little Paw Paw Lake renovation sketch

For the next proposed renovation, we have a two story stick built home in need of some curb appeal.  To me the house looks a little one dimensional.  So lets start by tacking on a gable faced dormer with some cedar shakes.  Next we have to tackle the problem of the cantilevered 2nd story.  It looks a little out of place.  Lets make it look conforming, by adding a 5 foot deck.  By doing this, we will take advantage of the lake views, and give the house some outdoor living space which it currently doesn't have.  This will also make the cantilevering of the 2nd story look intentional.  The deck will be supported by 6x6 treated treated lumber.  It will be supported by a 45 degree exaggerated support system, fastened with anchor bolts into the beefed up interior walls.  This is a unique way of giving it a traditional New Orleans look.  In order to get the four supports spaced evenly, the window on the main floor is going to have to be replaced by 2 windows spaced accordingly to balance the support system.  On the second level, we are going to put in a 16 lite stain-able Douglas Fir french door.  The hand-rail system will be 6" x 1" teak (stained annualy with Australian Teak Oil), spaced evenly until 42" in height is achieved.  Find out what your house could look like with a simple make-over.  E-mail me today.  Ryan@GreenTowneBuilders.com
