Foundation Test for a Cottage Addition | Can This Old Cabin Handle a Second Story?

Before you can plan a home addition, you need to know what’s beneath your feet. 🧰🏡 On this early November site visit, we opened up a test hole to assess the foundation of this charming old cottage. Built in true cabin style, its structure tells a story—and adding a second story will require creativity, engineering, and smart planning. ✨

The good news? It’s possible. 🙌 Foundation assessments like this help us understand what the existing structure can safely support before moving into design. It’s all part of building with intention—making sure the work is safe, structurally sound, and respectful of the original home.

We’re excited to see if we can bring this family’s renovation vision to life. Stay tuned for what comes next 🤞✨
