A few drawings of the a second phase to renovate our bungalow. Currently the construction is only for a small new roof & room over the breakfast area and a new stairway on the back of the house. After finding all of the damaged and poorly built existing roof framing we are thinking of re-building the entire roof in a second, later phase2 of the project. We would like to increase the height of the roof a few feet, but still keep it a low shed bungalow roof, very similar to the existing house but with a steeper slope for more headroom in the upstairs. We plan make the new roof look like a 1911 bungalow with exposed cedar rafter-tails, stained bead-board trim under the eves and cedar side bracing. The first floor will remain entirely the same and the entire renovation of the second floor roof is within the existing size of the house. Our goal is to have the house fit right in with other bungalows on the street yet bring in amble sunlight and passive solar heat into the core of the home,
This phase is planned for this fall or next spring/summer.
