Three Panel Window Well Lights Up Family Room

Fixing a serious structural problem is how this project began. The home’s north wall was being compromised by frost and was not safe. To solve the problem the entire north end of the home was supported with jacks and then earth was removed along the north wall to a depth of 8 feet. The basement wall was replaced, and a stone egress widow well constructed. An energy-efficient three-panel window was added for the family room, and another 2-panel window added for the adjacent laundry room. A gas fireplace was added to the family room at a 45 degree angle. Placed at an angle to accommodate the gas firebox and meet local building codes, the new fireplace is both enjoyable and efficient, providing an additional heat source. A basement with a wet wall became a warm, inviting family/media room for entertaining family and friends.
