space for a back entrance half off of the downstairs den. I have placed my washer/dryer into this area; these appliances were originally placed in the upstairs kitchen. The original plumbing for the upstairs washer is now servinb as an additional sink in the kitchen. The toilet room offof the den is now as it has always been. You commented that this toilet room should have a fan in the room. The room has been in exististance for 40 years without a fan, however I think is a good idea to add a fan to the room. Please advise if I need the permission from the City of Everett to add a bathroom fan. I have removed the entire interior, old style, and flat panel doors and have replaced them with new six panel doors. I have removed all of the molding and casings and have replaced them with new. I have replaced the old front door with a new one. A comment was made that headroom clearance for the stairway from the lower level to the entry level is not per code. I would be nice that the headroom be increased. However, the stairs are, as they have been for 40 years and have not been altered. It would be interesting to know what the code requirement, for height clearance, was in 1961 when the house was built. Without altering the structure of the house I was able get another few inches of head clearance by altering the existing paneling configuring. I then decided to build a deck otl' of the master bedroom. 1 did put a hot tub on the deck. You had mentioned that 1 had installed a '/z" piece of sheetrock in one corner of the garage ceiling. This is true. This corner of the sarage ceiling, under the stairs, never had any insulation, nor sheetrock installed. May I have permission from the City of Everett to add another '/z" sheetrock board under the existin� stair. You had mentioned that there were no smoke detectors in the building. I had just finished painting the interior of the building, and I had tliem removed for the paintin� process. Again, I apologize to the City of Everett for painting my home without permission. I would like permission to reinstall new detectors. Upstairs in the kitchen area I followed thru with framing walls on top of the existing deck, without changing the footprint of the original building. This added another 135 sq. ft. +/- of interior living area f'or the kitchen. 1 am installing new cabinets in the kitchen. The house had three toilets, and still does— none have been moved. The master bath I�ad a sink in it — it still does. The master bath had a shower in it— it still remains as original installation. The hallway bath had the tub removed. The kitchen has one additional sink in it, made possible with the relocation of the washer to downstairs. The downstairs toilet room is, as it has always been, contains one sink one toilet— hopefully the City of Everelt will grant me permission to add a fan in the room. I removed the old wood 2x4 railing around the existing deck and installed a new railing by KDL. Enclosed is the layout drawing and Urochure from KDL concerning the railing product I purchased from them. This lias really been a fun project for me. Early in December I got a visit from a city otlicial and was told that someone had filed a complaint against this project. One complaint was that the house was built too close to edge of the bank. I respectfully ask the City of Gverett to identify this accuser and for this individual to provide supporting data to his claim. The house is still located exactly where it has been for 40 years. I did not change the footprint of the building. Another complaint was that I had installed drainage, away from the house; down the bank I have learned from the neighbors, and from personal experience, that this house has a hisrory of flooding in the garage level during the rainy season. I have placed drainage pipes to the downspouts, and have directed the water away from my home. The back-yard drainage is being diverted by a tight-line that I have installed to the Uottom of the creek. This is the normal Z�7
