Ranch Conversion
comments (1) September 9th, 2010 in Project GalleryArchitectural interest was added to this ranch through an attached shed and gable dormer addition. Steep roofs are a Nantucket style. The trim was sized to match the existing house. Dewing & Schmid were the architects. I did a lot of the structural, the electrical and the HVAC myself. R50 roof insulation was used with oversized attic venting
Design or Plan used: My own design

*Contest is closed.
Beginning August 16 and running through September 29, Fine Homebuilding readers can submit photos of their favorite exterior trim details for a chance to win the new Senco Fusion cordless nailer.
We’re in search of those crowns, casings, and columns that separate the instant classics from the cookie-cutter homes. It may be a carefully reproduced railing on a historic home, or it could be the subtle proportions on those new widow casings that make the front of the house pop.
Contest ended on September 29, 2010.
