The homeowners remodeled an existing one-story 1890s stick framed house into a two-story optimum value engineered (OVE) framed house with a net metered solar electric array and Forestry Sustainability Council (FSC) wood and plywoods. They also added a new master bedroom and bathroom with bungalow details inside and out, restored existing stained glass windows and added several more, and installed new FSC quarter-sawn red oak staircase and flooring.
