JOANN SPORLEDER: Is there something happening up here; because, basically you <br />have a partial second floor on the upper level? <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: In the existing house back where -that room comes out <br />there is an existing door on the laundry porch that goes into an empty room with no <br />closet. What we want to do is underneath the roof that extends down would be to <br />incorporate a closet in that space. <br />Option two with the changed pitch of the roof, is so that we can make that second <br />story room a little bit larger and more usable. <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: That existing exterior door on the back of the house can <br />be installed on that blank wall on the side of the house. <br />KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: Or you could install a window at the owner's option. <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: The reason for expanding the kitchen is to that there <br />would be more usable space. If you install a window there then you will be cutting down <br />on your available wall space. <br />MARY JANE CHASE: Has anyone seen or does any one know what is currently <br />underneath the siding? <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: My guess is that it is some sort of wood lap siding. <br />KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: Do you know whether it is six inch, or four inch, or two <br />inch revealed? <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: No I do not know. <br />JOHN OXIAN: You can always change that by making it bigger. <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: That is not want the owner proposes to do, so that is not <br />what I am proposing to you. <br />JOHN OXIAN: The thing about it is that you are extending the back part here and then <br />you are leaving a porch back there that was added on at one time. You're also taking off <br />part of a building which was not added on, unless I am mistaken. So in other words, you <br />are making a whole new design on one side of the building. If you are going to make one <br />whole design on one side of the building then either make the stoop larger or put <br />something on the end which will at least look like what the house originally looked like. <br />GARY VAN OVERBERGHE: I can tell you that the front porch area with all the <br />windows is an addition to the house. So, the front porch is not an original part of the <br />house either. <br />
