The ADU is Complete!

It has been an interesting, thrilling, exhausting and exciting process building the ADU but we are so happy that we did it. The saying goes that construction takes twice as long and twice as much as you expect and we would have to say there’s a reason that saying is so! If anyone is looking to build an ADU, we definitely recommend trying to price out as much as you can up front before starting the project. From the permits, to the engineer to the drafter and the contractor… there were a lot of moving parts but you have to do your best to be as involved in the process as possible.

We hope that this investment in the ADU will add some value to the property overall. An ADU is a great way to earn additional income, offer housing to relatives or just have as an additional living space.

Fence and Final Touches

We have not posted an update on the ADU since COVID hit and the world went sideways. We are still navigating our “new normal” with both our professional and personal lives, but in the meantime we wanted to share more photos of the progress with our ADU! Here are some photos that Ian took while he was purchasing the lumber for the contractors to build fences around the unit.

Here are some pictures of the exterior fences being built. We had a fence built around the exterior front door for a bit of privacy and security. There is also a fence built around the ADU’s patio area so that there is space for someone to enjoy a little outside time as well.

And here are some photos we posted of some “final touches” that we picked out for the ADU. Can’t wait for you all to see these things come together in the final product soon!
