re: #284 albusteve

okay, I’m a carpenter by trade, and a remodel contractor that specialized in second floors…depending on the site and other unknowns, you are looking at 100k…can your foundation support another floor above the existing?…can the plumbing be conveniently lofted?…how are you going to get up there?…that means structural changes to support stairwells…etc etc

Thanks…I’m guessing about 100-120K depending on cost per square foot. We’d probably add no more than 600sf as the house is already 1400 or so…and this is just an investigation right now as my vote is to get something we don’t have to modify that much (I know the kitchen-work my wife and I will want will be bad enough, as we live in our kitchen and it’s one of the most important rooms in the house to us).
