Project title: Dogtrot These owners, both in the construction industry trades, built this addition themselves with the help of a minimum of subcontractors. The existing house, constructed from salvaged lumber and rotting on the north side, was enlarged in a way that no new load was added to it, and the design worked around the existing plantings of mature boxwoods, holly, and a specimen ash tree. Salvaged elements were incorporated, such as siding from an old railroad depot, fieldstone hauled from a farm in Free Union, and soapstone culled from a scrap pile. Contractor: Woody and Ruth Ellen Outlaw
