Ever since I sold the Mid-Century Bungalow a few years ago. I’ve wanted to do  another Mid-century modern build.  Here’s what the MCM Bungalow looked like:

I finally decided to start the build even though I have three unfinished projects that I’m “working” on. I haven’t decided if I will enter the contest this year.  I guess it depends in whether or not I actually finish it.

 I’ve made quite a few changes to the kit.  First I closed up the front door, picture window and the window on the back side.  I also cut two new doorways and all new windows.  

 I moved the front door to the other side and put an addition on the left to make a bedroom and bathroom. I also made a triangular window much like the MCM Bungalow.

 It will have a sunken living room.  I cut a square in the floor and put one inch supports under the area where I cut.  Since the kit has a raised floor this worked out perfectly.

 I used 1/4″ fiberboard for the addition because I can’t find 3/8″ anywhere.  The windows are a little deeper than the walls so I will cut some mat board to thicken the walls a bit.

 The angled roof line will be extended to make a car port a lot like this one.
