We LIFTED the HOUSE!
The first level of our 1940s lake house was way to short. Coming in at only 6’8” and 6’0” under the beam. To make this ceiling an appropriate height we decided to lift the entire second level and add 2ft to the foundation. While doing that we also cut in bigger windows and patio doors as well as strengthening the foundation itself before setting it back down. This was such a cool process and in this video I go over all the steps.
