In this blog I will do my best to describe the process I went through in turning my 1957 Ranch-style house into a 2006 Craftsman house as inspired by the Gamble House in Pasadena. Please feel free to comment on anything I write and ask questions as it is the only way we learn.

Note: Since completion of the house I have also decided to allow guest bloggers to post articles related to remodeling. This continues the education process.

The silhouette flags were readjusted to show the shallower pitch requested by the Art Jury. The entire roof design was changed.

The silhouette flags were installed on the house today. This allows neighbors to see how the proposed house impacts the neighborhood.
