We got the first project estimates from Dan and we are well within our budget - it's a go!

Here is the breakdown.

Build Porch Built-In Benches with Storage Beneath: $1,540.00
Parition wall + door to create fourth bedroom out of old livingroom: $1,228.00

Beadboard panel and retrim over wallpapered bedroom: $1,449.00

Here is the plan.



Dan said he'd like to tackle the porch and the "walling off the old front room" projects first: 

1. Two L-shaped corner bench storage seats on sunporch, each approximately 8 x 10 and 16" high, 32" deep with hinged section for access. Face of unit finished in 1 x 6 bead and center bead pine, tops of 3/4" furniture birch plywood. Paint or poly finish by others. $1540.00

2. Frame old livingroom 2 x 4 partition wall of fir studs and sheetrock approximately 9' long, 8'high with door opening for 2'-6" / 6'-8"  6 panel pine door, clear jambs and clear casing. Schlage Plymouth style brass privacy set. Finish lower section both sides with 5/8 x 3 1/4 southern yellow pine bead and center bead (wainscot), 2 1/2" clamshell base, clear clamshell casing.

That sounds A-Ok with us!
