Now I see the general layout. Are you going to be able to access the upper level from the lower level, without going outside? What is the finish size? I like it. :)

Nice! :cool:
Been to CT,NJ,NY (had most of my extended family back there up until a few years ago) and I really liked it. It is a beautiful area of the US. Did not really like the humidity though.
Good work. :D

That's going to be really nice... Looks expensive though. Are you building it yourself or using a contractor?

Ya, that looks like the bucks could add up.
I have done a ton of my own work on my house mixed with some paid contracted work to save myself money.
In the past I've done alot of home building so I know where to cut cost and save money by doing alot of my own work.
But the real time consuming heavy work I sublet out. Like putting a new roof on my house.
I was in the roofing business for years but didn't have the time to do it myself so I had it done. That's when it adds up.
Looking good!:)
