When my daughter moved home after college, I decided that she needed a bathroom of her own built onto her bedroom. In the process of planning the expansion and working with the contractors, I learned a lot. I had no idea how many details there were to cover, and I found myself overwhelmed by the decisions that I had to make. That's when I decided to create this site and put the information I have out there for others to see. I wanted to help other people understand the construction process so that they could expand their homes with confidence and avoid as many surprises as possible.
