Project: Finishing up with Cedar Porch, Fireplace, and Stone Veneer

A big farmer’s porch will run the whole width of the house. Bob discusses the boiler, which will heat the domestic hot water, radiant floor heating, and hydro-air heating system.

The roof of the new addition is being insulated – in an environmentally conscious way – to retain the heat from the radiant heating system. Moisture- and mold-resistant drywall is being used throughout the addition.

The walls in the new addition are just about ready for paint. The new fireplace, trimmed with fieldstone, will make this new in-law suite very cozy. Interior doors are hung and oak floors installed upstairs.
