epanzella Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Chunkah, In my travels today I saw a two story house like your addition that had the same siding treatment as the Blue/white trim on the house above in post # 2. What struck me is it had a small gable roof over each window like the doghouse dormers in an attic apartment but just the roof, no walls. I had never seen that before but it looked surprisingly good. If you were to do a similar treatment to the original house too it could tie it in. Draw yourself a peecher and see what you think.

The wife and I have always thought two or three of those would look good across the front of the house but we never thought of doing it as it would be purely aesthetic with no practical use. But now that we are into this it is back on the table. Wifey had a talk with the framers on Friday and they were discussing modifying the existing main entry with a hip roof style entry. I wasn't there for the conversation and have been too busy to really pause and discuss it, but I think we are going to get some simple drawings to help us figure out cost and just how it will look. I'm going to bounce the doghouse idea off the wife and the framers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a siding that Harvey Industries carries as their own, called Emerson siding. The color is Rockaway Gray...nice and dark and a lifetime warranty against fading. giant basshole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkah Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Came out pretty good and overall we are very pleased. Thanks to all for your input...it was very helpful and much appreciated. Looking forward to fall so we can loam, plant some grass, create garden beds and do some plantings. If I could just motivate to tie up a few loose ends we would be in really good shape.
