Park Haus Blog: See how this Burbank addition evolves

Parkafter2More than two years ago, on April 19, 2005, John Park started blogging about the Burbank home he and his family had outgrown, and how they planned to add onto it. They struggled with the architecture and layout and colors and materials and styles.

If you have big dreams for your own home, this robust blog will let you know what you're in for. In the remodeling business, they call it "managing expectations." In other words, you can expect to spend a lot of time, effort and money to pull off a major project like this.

If you go here and start at the bottom of the page, you can follow the family's two-year journey from that first moment to this one when they are eagerly waiting for their occupancy permit. Naturally, the contractor has told them "two more weeks" for about six weeks.

Follow this blog and be there when the magic moment happens.

This design yearns for an architectural review committee. The owner and neighbors must all be blind.
