This summer, in addition to my usual 20 or so projects, I was adding a much needed 110 square foot mud room onto my Stapleton home of 10 years (with the help of Best Builders). The goals were to connect the house to the garage, add a second pantry, and a much-needed dumping ground for cell phones, shoes, backpacks, coats, etc. Here are the viagrapill.com start to finish photos. (Feel free to click on the first photo to scroll through the large photos.)

Addition connects the main house to the garage and forms a courtyard at the patio. Both brick and siding were used to merge the two buildings.
