Building a Master Suite Addition over the Garage /// Dream Home Renovation Ep. 7

Building an Addition Over Your Garage can be a little scary but not impossible. We tackled this build because we wanted to add an extra bedroom upstairs and putting an addition over the garage was the clear choice to gain square footage without changing the footprint of the house. Follow us on this journey as we renovate our entire house and have fun doing it.

Watching this house come apart you really appreciate how well built houses used to be. That house is a stud.

[@julietphillips1991]

Oh boy, exciting and a bit stressful all at the same time...but it looks great as you progress! I sort of felt your pain with the flood, but there is always a silver lining...no more mold! You know it's all going to be so special when it's done!

[@KomarProject]

Thanks Juliet !! Means a lot

[@TimInKCMO]

I love seeing the EMT instead of Romex for the electrical. If you have rodents eating into that, then you'd have quite a significant issue. From what I could see, it looks like your electricians did some neat work.

[@johnwinner8511]

Looks like fun project redisigning a previous home design .

[@johnwinner8511]

I probably would turned that wall into boot coat room.

[@SlightlyLessFat]

All the flooding come from rain? I have had my house flood twice. Both times from internal house water. The first flood displaced me for 3 months while we rebuilt the house. It was so heartbreaking. I know the feeling of wanting to cry and not wanting to cry. Its a killer house build Bart!

[@KomarProject]

Thanks so much! Hope you guys are back into your home already

[@SlightlyLessFat]

@@KomarProject Oh yeah. That happened in 2013 and then 2014. House has been dry since.

[@roymarroquin8616]

Seems odd , your new addition above garage also got damaged or it was a pipe that burst below?

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

That flood broke my heart. I hate water! Good on you for making the best of it. Guess that's all you can do. Great project.

[@JBeans7711]

Heartbreaking mid video. But, your just do it attitude allowed you to push forward. Nice job 👍 and can’t wait to see to finished and refinished areas! Keep the positivity going!

[@cr-iv1el]

Thanks for keeping it real.

[@webberfan1234]

I liked the window

[@MrAidanfleming]

Looking awesome❤

[@KomarProject]

Thanks so much

[@johnpiegzik298]

That flood damage, wow!! So sorry! Great video and build series!

[@lonniei1606]

Seeing those small mails haong out the side of 2x10 helps understand why these houses blow away in a stiff wind

[@buildingmodern]

Love the video - thanks for sharing! If you don't mind us asking, how did the rain get in? It looks like it was tarped in the video. We have a similar project coming up and are wondering if there's more we should do to help make sure rain can't get in when removing/changing out a roof over a finished basement. Thanks!

[@Zeroscifer]

While i get your point about not donating the windows there are other uses than using it in a building again. Like myself I would kill to have someone let me have a window of that size for the solar heater I am building. No codes on this just need the glass and large panel costs a lot.

[@HB-600]

We kept some of the windows! Not sure entirely what we’ll be doing with them just yet but I have dreams of a greenhouse…!

[@Zeroscifer]

@@HB-600 nice A greenhouse would be great. Or put on some mirror-effect spray paint and turn them into huge mirrors.. bet you could do interesting things with those too.

[@HB-600]

@@Zeroscifer that’s a good idea. I really like the look of antiqued mirror glass. Whether it’s inside the house somewhere or part of a garden feature that could look really cool.

[@drunkbillygoat]

When i was building my snakes new enclosure i would have loved to get those old windows

[@bryandano]

Wow .sorry for all of that damage . It happened to me when I was building my house

[@KomarProject]

It sucks right ?

[@bryandano]

I had tarped the roof and about 4a.m. my daughter woke me up and said it was raining in her room . So for the next week it rained , my osb subfloor were covered with 4 " of water so I had to go and drill holes to drain the water , luckily they weren't to badly damaged

[@barryroberts6470]

Sorry about the damage from the flooding i suppose it was a blessing in disguise as you wouldn't have known about all the Mold Spores knocking around your shop, at least your shop has been sprayed now and will look ten times better when you have finished the shop off. Your new home? looks great those fellas work their socks off doing that roof and knocking the walls down, i didn't know that they could work so fast even in speed up mode, great job guys. It's a pity you don't have any allotments near to where you live as any wood and that glass the people who grow Fruit and Veg would have used the wood and the glass no problems. Pity that, i was wishing that i lived near you when you said everything was getting dumped, i would have taken the lot off your hands. If it's possible maybe not, is there any chance of a cost breakdown, i would love to know how much the wood, window frames, everything on the roof and even the builders cost, right down to the cost of hiring the diggers and the containers for your tools, cheeky i know. Sorry for the long comment i got carried away. Take Care. Barry (UK)

[@KomarProject]

Hey Barry we were thinking of doing a entire cost breakdown after the project was done. So stay tuned for that later in the year

[@barryroberts6470]

@@KomarProject Cheers for the reply i will be stayin' tuned anyway as been subscriber for a while now, love the vids and the bit of comedy.

[@handymadness]

Why not keep the master bedroom ceilings vaulted?

[@OmegaWalple]

Did I miss you explain what caused the flooding? was it a burst water pipe or rain?

[@KomarProject]

It was rain unfortunetly

[@mnomadvfx]

Are bricks really so expensive and cumbersome to lay that adding an extra floors worth of walls is so bad compared to wood? It's no wonder that wildfires so often completely decimate residential zones with such a preference for wood building materials. With all brick walls you might lose the roof and the floor joists in a fire, but at least you would still have sturdy walls to build back with.

[@neonpcmsplus]

What is the reason for the new rafters being plumb cut at the outside edge of the walls and tail extensions being sistered on to create the overhang? Was the material simply not long enough to make it in one run or was this done for another reason?

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

I'd really like to do that over my garage but I don't know if the walls can handle the load.

[@KomarProject]

You should be able to. You may have to strengthen some things but a engineer will be able to help with all that

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

@@KomarProject can i find an engineer in the comments here on KZbin or do I need to go to the pro desk at home Depot and order one❓🤷‍♂️

[@amoghbhandawat8952]

first ❤

[@KomarProject]

love it!!!!!!!!!!

[@lonniei1606]

Well there is some good here. You did it on your own home so you can only blame yourself. The flooding was completely preventable but you onow what you did so you can be better 9n a customers house.

[@Kristenoyinbo]

I'm so sorry your home flooded. My god :-(

[@rb264]

Just throw that there, we’ll handle it again later.

[@anthonyvincent9990]

Y'all wanted a new start now it will truly be a full new start. Before you move in, have your clergy depending on your faith come and bless the whole property.

[@virginiatolles1664]

Granted, the architectural style was dated. Still, it was a beautiful style. If you didn't like it, why didn't you just sell the house and build something more to your liking? More to the point, why did you buy it in the first place? Having a bedroom over a garage does not seem wise. Batteries explode without warning. Electric cars with lithium batteries are especially bad. No, thank you. I'll sleep at the opposite end of the house from the garage.

[@Kotgarmash]

Thank you for your video, from Russia.🎉

[@KomarProject]

Welcome!

[@MotherClucker1]

so you chose to buy a house in IL?! I thot you had lived there for years & renovated vs buying in a safer location.

[@KomarProject]

I have lived here my entire life and so far have not had any issues
