Need help with how to proceed with problemmatic home renovation.
Comments (53)Welcome to Virginia! I think I have some good news and bad news to offer you with respect to your remedies. First, the bad news: While Virginia has a statutory warranty for new construction, there is none for remodeling projects, so you don't have that as a remedy. Now the (maybe) good news: mechanic's lien law in VA is very complicated. It's not difficult to record a lien, but they are often tossed out unless every "i" has been correctly dotted and every "t" correctly crossed. There is a 30-day rule that requires contractors and suppliers to register with the applicable mechanic's lien agent within 30 days of beginning work in order to preserve their right to file a lien for that work. If you don't have a mechanic's lien agent, then I'm not sure the contractor or any supplier or contractor working for him has any remedy under the Virginia mechanic's lien law. I'm not suggesting you "lawyer up,"nor do I advocate going to court as a remedy, but paying for a 1 hour consultation with a Virginia attorney with a construction law practice would help you understand your rights and those of the contractor. Then you can make an informed decision about how to proceed. Best wishes for getting things fixed soon and enjoying your home....See MoreRenovating small house. Need help with layout

Comments (2)Can you take some space from the living room? If the stub wall must be 30", you could put a full-height cabinet on the LR side, and extend a peninsula to the point where the door was. If you need a support post for a beam, it could be incorporated into the seating overhang (plan on left). However, if the stub wall can be eliminated, or if only a support post is necessary on the exterior wall, you could extend the peninsula farther into the LR, and make the remainder of the room a dining area. With seating at the peninsula, the nook could be converted to storage and serving. areas (plan on right). Another option (on right), would be to keep the sink under the window and put the fridge on the stair wall. The fridge would be a trek from the range, but adding a sink to the peninsula would give you a better prep space, and the fridge would be more convenient to the FR and new DR.
