[BRPORSCHE]

We did it about ten years ago. Lived in the house two more years then got transferred to Louisiana.

We cut costs by living in the basement while renovating the first floor and adding the second floor. Hired an architect; best 2k I ever spent. He saved me ten times his fee.

Another thing we did to cut costs--we set up two big saws; one to rip and one to do cross cuts. We re-sawed all the old rafters for interior framing on the second floor. We used the plywood from the old roof for the new attic floor.
