Ash Street House Living Room Renovation

This 1916 House has gone through many generations of changes. Since we bought this home in 2012, many structural issues and poor craftsmanship from previous remodels have come to light. Drawings have been submitted to the City of Tacoma for the Living Room Renovation. The primary part of our overhaul is returning the original Living Room layout and structurally strengthening the second floor, where existing beams are over-spanned and sagging.
