TODAYS FEATURED BOOK, A GREAT BOOK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
In response to tight times, a remarkably upbeat and widespread
change is taking place in households across America. Homeowners are
creating second dwelling units—often called in-law suites, mother-in-law
apartments, or granny flats. Second units make a lot of sense. They’re
perfect for families who want several generations living close by, they
enable Baby Boomers to care for elderly parents while respecting their
independence, provide private quarters for adult children still at home
or, rented out, second units can generate income to pay the mortgage or
provide for retirement.
In-Laws, Outlaws, and Granny Flats is the first book to explore the many
designs, uses and benefits of this time-honored and emotionally
satisfying living arrangement. In-law units take many forms and they’re
all shown here: attic, basement and garage conversions, bump-out
additions, carve-out suites, and backyard cottages. Creating an in-law
unit—turning one house into two homes—is arguably greenest, most
cost-efficient way to create a small home or cottage because you’re
building small, building on an existing lot, and conserving building
materials. This book covers every aspect of turning one house into two
homes. Its first four chapters deal with the specifics of assessing your
needs, selecting an appropriate design, choosing space- and
energy-saving appliances, and getting your plans approved. The book’s
second half is a warm and engaging portfolio of in-law units and the
families who created them: what needs prompted their decisions, which
layouts worked best, and how they met life challenges with common sense,
creativity and compassion. With more than 200 color photographs, 50
floor plans and architectural details, and a lively, personable voice,
In-laws, Outlaws, and Granny Flats is perfect for homeowners who want
richer lives and a more secure future.
