My Houzz: Traveling Couple Find the Perfect Parking Spot (34 photos)

It wasn’t too long after moving in that the couple’s son-in-law, Leigh Boss (who is also their builder) recommended replacing the wood stumps on which the house sits and raising the structure a foot or more, so they could put a decent-sized deck on the back of the home and embrace their love of outdoor living.

When renovations began in early 2014, many of the walls and ceilings cracked during the “restumping” process. Because the internal walls contained asbestos, all of them needed to be removed. “Suddenly our ‘little reno’ became a big reno,” Wendy says, “and the house was gutted completely, only to retain the beautiful old, mixed hardwood floors that we really fell in love with.”

The couple put their heads together with Boss at each step of the transformation. Several other builders involved also put their ideas forward, and eventually just about everything the couple could ever want or need was included in the design.
