I've been working on this project. where I'm tearing down 3/4 of an addition to build it back bigger and with a 15 foot wall, giving the interior a 10ft ceiling. It's been challenging as a first big build. I'm working by myself. bur I'm about to throw that house in a dumpster.
because it's an allready built addition the challenging part has been tearing it down in stages so I can keep it covered. there is a basement under it.
this is my dad's house and honestly he chooses to do.things the hard way a lot of the time.
Basically he had a builder look at it before me who was like. "yeah I'll tear it down to the foundation and built it for 180k"
I'm doing it for a lot less partly because I want the experience to gain confidence to do more projects. It's also more interestingly going to have about 2x the insulation air leak control as a "built to code" new addition would have.
