Kitchen Addition & Remodel - Franklin, Ma - part 4

Outside View - Franklin Kitchen Addition

Here you can see the exterior of the addition. The lumber materials you see on the ground are for the deck we were about to begin construction on that would surround the addition.

Now if you can look at this picture as three separate structures, you will see the original house on the left, the original garage on the right, and the new kitchen addition in the middle with the two french doors. Before the addition the garage and the house were separate structures. We tied them together with the new addition. You would never know. Everything went seamlessly.

Notice the two small windows that are located above the roof line of the addition. They were not part of the original design of the addition. Originally there were two full size windows located there. The customer, however, decided that they wanted to extend the original distance that the addition would come out from the existing back wall of the house. Of course by do that it meant that the height at which the roof met the back wall of the house was increased. A flat roof was not an option here, so as a result we replaced the full size windows with the small rolling windows you see pictured to allow for the increased height in the roof. The customer was happy so we were happy.

Up next is the exterior pine deck that wraps the new addition, finishing off the project.
