SR sent us over the custom change form with a plan to address the front porch freakout.
The proposed fix:
1. Extend front stoop from 3' to 7' - flush with garage
2. Covered porch with column (extension of garage roof line)
3. Includes 2 recessed lights
Grand total.....$3,995 - OUCH.
Cheapest solution would have been to back down to the "free" elevation B - saving $2k
Mid-range solution - add porch to elevation C for $8k(?)
Mid-range solution - upgrade to elevation D for $8k(?)
High-end solution - upgrade to elevation E for $12k
So all in all, I guess the price is reasonable to solve the problem and not spend a fortune. The recessed lights are a little bonus I'm excited about. The Hubs has come down from his spazz-out, and all is right in the world.
Pics are below - a little tricky to see, but you get the idea.
yay for a solution!!!! I know it's more money in the long run, but the way I see it: This is YOUR house and things should be to a point that you are happy with them.
ReplyDeleteUhm, yeah. I would have freaked out too (maybe not to the same level as your husband). Glad you found a solution!
