Design & Building

Grant from Community Design Collaborative for planning process,some design considerations
Engineer engaged for work on plans and to oversee building
Liberty Resources for OBRA funding, requiring insurance numbers and other information to process funding.
S &S Remodeling
Introduced ourselves to the neighbors.
Design was a struggle, given the space constraints (the downside of working within a given area,not designing from ground up)

HVAC-considered tankless water heater but too costly and engineer + contractor discouraged using this new eco-friendly.Considered Hybrid heating system..same result.
Evaluation done for solar panels...not a good place. The house is all-electric.

We added an access doorway from the back bathroom to the middle shower room
Design for the front, shared bathroom, was too small for comfortable wheelchair turn-around
Required last-minute expansion of the front bathroom, which now works. Be sure everyone is reading and understanding plans!
Delta automatic faucets and shower system donated by Ann's son-in-law Thank you, Jefferson!
Mohawk Tiles provided tiles for two bathrooms and shower room at their cost! We used Florida Tile Co. Creekside floor and wall tiles, Stone White 23102 Low-mid-priced and beautiful

Again, we explored eco-friendly materials and considered many, many options. On the advice of UCP we used...(specs to come)

Closer examination after closing, showed several large dead trees looming over the house
Thank you, Arader Tree Service for helping cut the trees and the cost
Thank you Shell Gas Station for sharing in the expense of a shared tree threat
