Bathroom Addition - V2 | Page 3 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Forgot to mention - The ceiling in the bathroom will be vaulted. I'm unsure of whether or not to vault the closet portion as having that extra space might help with plumbing the HVAC ducting over from the existing attic. With that said, I'm not sure if it's necessary to add HVAC ducting for an addition so small. This part of the house is well shaded all day and I plan to stuff as much insulation as I can in the walls and ceiling.

I suppose I don't really need to include it and then add it after the fact if it's found to be necessary. Do they have anything in the codes on requiring HVAC or heating? Seems obtrusive.

Also, I'm trying to work on a schedule for putting everything up. For those who have done it yourself, keep an eye out, I will need your help if possible.

The overhang is only 18' so I'm right on the border. The other overhangs on the gable end of the house do not use lookouts and you can see them drooping.

What's modeled there is a 2x3 every 3'

Civil engineer is coming out tomorrow for soil work and I've taken another course off of the bricks with a cold chisel. Not proud of the result, but it'll definitely work.

How it started and my tools, and the finished result:

This is for adequate drainage down the side. 

I bought another condenser pad too and am working on leveling it so that the AC condensor can be relocated before the excavation work begins. It's a crappy foam one with a shotcrete exterior but it's easier than framing and it's not plastic. I would like to relocate the existing slab piece but it easily weighs 100+lbs and it's tough to lift the condenser and pull the existing slab all by myself.

KVR brought up the idea of insulating the slab so in addition to insulating below the slab, I am now considering perimeter insulation as shown below:

Anyone have any experience with this? Seems like I could get regular Bora Foam, just need to find the right flashing. Then do you put SBC on top? like Stucco?
