Garage-Carport Roof

We will tear down the current carport, and its wood can be reused for rebuild.
As Is

This is what we have now, with a shallow sloping carport roof fastened to the garage. The garage roof does not come to apoint as shown in this image -- the roof pictured in the next image is correct.
What We Want 01

Interior

The following details are all based on the original design (shown above) and may changes slighly if we go with one of the other design options. We have already made some choices that will slightly change some of the following details (for instace we will not be going to the pot lights).

Electrical

The kitchen needs a number of new outlets, and some special media and networking wiring. We may need to replace the main panel in the basement.
Bathroom
thumb_bathroom_01
The bathroom currently has a light about the sink and a single light switch. We want to replace the light, add a fan, add a fan switch, and add an electrical outlet.
Kitchen Front
thumb_kitchen_01
We need to add a number of electrical outlets around the kitchen. We also want to add 10 pot lights (we may exchange 2 of these light for stereo speakers) and two old schoolhouse lights. We plan to mount a television of the left wall, and install a small computer in the existing niche. This niche will have to be wired with outlets for electricity, LAN, coax, phone, and speakers and perhaps a USB jack as well. There is currently an outlet for an electric range which we do not use because we have a gas range.
Kitchen Back
thumb_kitchen_02
Add outlets and light switches.

Flooring

Bathroom Floor
thumb_bathroom_01
Bathroom current has a vinyl floor. We have not looked underneath to tell is the wood is the same as in the rest of the house. Our assumption is yes it is. Area: 25 sq.ft.
Kitchen Floor with Cabinets
thumb_kitchen_01
Floor used to have vinyl over fir. We removed the vinyl, leaving the fir covered dried old adhesive. We're not sure of the floor condition under the existing cabinets. Cabinets pictured here are what we plan to have, not what is already in place -- although the layout is rough the same. Area: 240 sq.ft.
Kitchen Floor Empty Room
thumb_kitchen_02
The full floor plan stripped of cabinets, and show location of plumbing and gas pipes. Also note the dark brown strip in bottom left corner. This shows an ares where the wood needs to be replaced entirely with matching fir. Area: 240 sq.ft.

Carpentry

The following are all of the pieces we need custom built.
Arch
thumb_arch_01
A decorative arch.
Bench with Cubbies
thumb_mill_bnech_straight_01
A simple straight bench with cubbies for baskets. This bench will fit between floor to ceiling pantries.
Cupboard Shelves
thumb_cupboard_shelves_01
These are almost decorative shelves that will sit beneath the cupboards.

Cupboard Shelf Supports
thumb_shelf_supports_01
These are 6 supports for the shelves.
Showing Finished Cupboards
thumb_cupboard_shelf_support_01
This is what we're shooting for as a finished result.
Cabinets
thumb_cabinets_kitchen_01
White laquored finished, semi-glossy.

Pantries
thumb_pantries_01
Tall pantry of 75" with a top pantry added, each with independent doors.

Plumbing

The plumbing and gas infrastructure in the kitchen seems find, however the sink and toilet replacement in the bathroom might need a professional
Bathroom
thumb_bathroom_01
We want to replace vanity with a pedestal sink, replacing toilet, and replace the sink and bath faucets as well as shower head.
Kitchen
thumb_kitchen_01
Installing the dishwasher and connecting the apron sink would be pretty straight forward. However we'd also like to install a wall mounted faucet. We'd prefer a single lever faucet, and one with a sprayer as well. If we can't find these feature, we'll have to go with a deck mounted.
Kitchen Pipes
thumb_kitchen_02
Showing to location of the gas and plumbing pipes.

Tiling

We've decided on the tile and layout pattern for the kitchen, but not yet for the bathroom.
Bathroom
thumb_bathroom_01
We haven't picked a tile or pattern yet, but are pretty certain that we only need the inside of the show tiled. The ceiling in the shower is about 3 feet lower than the room ceiling, reducing the amount of space we need to cover. Area: 52 sq.ft.
Kitchen with Cabinets
thumb_kitchen_01
White subway tile laid in a herringbone pattern. Area: 43 sq.ft.
Kitchen Stripped of Cabinets
thumb_kitchen_02
Area: 43 sq.ft.

Window

Currently it seems that only the windows will need carpentry, however we might need other carpentry work to modify the walls or repair damage.
Back Window 01
thumb_window_back_01
There are 2 different sized windows on this wall currently. We want to replace them with a single large window that match the others in the house. See current.
Side Window with Stained Glass
thumb_window_side_01
The space currently has a metal sliding glass window, which we'd like to replace with a stained glass window. The frame may need to be reconstructed to allow this.
