1. Removed a wall to dig out under-porch crawl space and make it
part of the new family room. A steel beam provides support in its
place.
2. Dug out the existing floor except in the mechanicals area to
achieve a 7-foot finished ceiling height.
3. Kept the original locations for the water heater and boiler,
shutting them away behind doors.
4. Created a storage closet to hold extra household goods, from
cases of wine to bulk-size paper towels.
5. Squeezed in a full bath measuring 5 by 5 feet.
6. Moved the laundry to the far end of the space, tucking the washer
and dryer under a counter, adding a sink, and installing a space-saving
ironing-board cabinet.
