Progress

There are parts of projects where to the casual passerby, it just doesn’t look like anything is happening.  Then there are parts of projects that literally stop traffic.

We are currently working on a remodel on Mercer Island.  It’s a rambler.  Although the square footage increase is minimal (less than 150 SF), the home’s volume will change dramatically.  Part of the “make-over” includes removing and replacing the roof.

Here are some photos illustrating the series of events.

Pretty cool, huh? 

Neighbors and passers-by have literally stopped in the middle of the street to watch all of this unfold.  A little mid-island drama.

Bet you didn’t know that construction was so exciting!  Wait until you see the finished product! 

If you’d like more information on this project, give us a call here at Lakeville to arrange for a private tour.
