Dude added a whole ass floor to a 2-story house and acts like it's no big deal. Absolute baller.
Looks great Chris. It’s nice to see a true professional doing top notch work. I’ll be reaching out to you in the spring for new pavement work.
Oh, and giveaway 😀
Fantastic work!!
Incredible work, super inspiring as I’m a contractor that’s done a couple remodels but have yet to do any additions.
Thank you!
looks great!
How much this costed the addition
Just found and followed-I want something like this! (Giveaway, too)
great job Chris!
Thank you!
Great Stuff! Can you do a video explaining how you leveled up the second floor party walls so the third floor can sit on? From what you described, it sounds like a bond beam, but can you explain that a bit ?
Hi Ley
That’s a great question. The short answer is, every 3rd floor addition is unique and they’re not all built the same. If you have enough height on the party walls after you remove roof, you can ledger into the wall, install joists and subfloor at desired height and build your perimeter walls. Only issue with that is your giving up a little bit of space because the property line is the middle of the party wall so your exterior sheathing will be about 4” from property line on both sides and then whatever you’re doing for facade is about 1-2” depending on if your using a rain screen so at end of day you’ll lose 2-3” but you can also take advantage of that room by doing exterior insulation which I’m a big fan of. They are all unique but also the same as well if that makes sense. Your going to be ledgering into the party wall in every case, the variable is the party wall modification; if you need to raise, level, reinforce, etc. Hope this helps. Haven’t been on top of putting content out because business keeping me too busy but I’m going to start back up soon. Appreciate the comment and any likes, sharess and all your support
Thank you!
