this is a bathroom addition that was set in what used to be a terraced hill. dirt was excavated and retainment walls and a french drain added before concrete slab was poured. The far right half of the facade was the original house. Siding was replaced with 1x3 beveled redwood. a side wall was added to give a continuous effect to the eve of the roof. stucco was used for the side and rear of the bathroom.
Unfortunately, there is a bit of an eyesore which we are trying to get the neighbor to take down.... but hidden behind the white metal gate is a 70 foot long x 6-8 foot high redwood fence. the reveal between the horizontal 1 x 6 boards alternates from 1/2" to 1". There is a gate in the front with a small deadbolt for entry.
This was a 13 foot long 30 inch wide slab of redwood. This was crosscut section with Exotic hardwood center and Machiche butterflies to strengthen the weaker sections.
This is with the final coat of stucco, paint, and trim primed and painted.
here is the exterior of the addition. still needs a little paint, but for the most part its on its way to being done.
The floor joists and the rough plumbing for the entire bathroom. Notice the blocked framing above the cantilevered joists to support the bathtub.
The finished slab was troweled and bottom plates were securely fastened to the slab with 8 inch bolts. the section on the lower right will be cantilevered over the concrete so the roots of the tree could be saved and not cut out.
The beginning of the project was to level the grade and set forms for the concrete slab. Gravel was placed as a bed and for drainage
