Topping up a Toronto Bungalow
My new house is complete. I've run out of things to do so I'm going to put together a book on the experience of putting a second story on a 1940's bungalow (a house type of which Toronto has many).
Here's the Before and the after.
-- Top ups in Toronto
- Our house
-- history
-- our history
- Original ideas
-- Loft
-- Google sketch up
-- Bathroom
- Know you house style
- Planning Process
- Options for updating Bungalows
- Design process
-- Get an architect
-- Styles
-- Exteriors
-- Layouts
-- Features
-- Basements
- Move out
-- Purge
-- Store
-- Rent
- City Process
- Build Process
-- What to expect in the demo
-- What to expect in the framing
-- What to expect in the infrastructure in the wiring and plumbing
-- what to expect during drywall
- - what to expect during painting
- -
Here's the Before and the after.
The book will be an iPhoto book for my own consumption using the photos I took during the process. However, depending on the time and interest, I will add text and chapters to make it a book on topping up a bungalow in Toronto. Last night I brainstormed an outline while sitting on my new porch:
