We finally broke down, planned an addition that suited our needs, and have begun construction. We are adding 1,000 square feet of space to our home. It will consist of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room and stove / mudroom entry. The price of building has gone up considerably in Homer since we built our home 8 years ago, but we have a choice: move to a new location or add on. We made the right decision, and this will be a spectactular addendum to our current living situation.
