Bonus Room Above Garage – 3 Challenges

Hey everyone Brian Olsen here. I am in Pleasant Grove at a new listing that is at 748 West 1116 North (PG). It’s a great location; this home is on a quiet street and it’s just a fantastic home.

A few things I want to just mention, well one thing I wanted to show you. The buyers, when they purchased this home, after they purchased it they took what was just a carport and they got a plan and they put in footing, foundation, everything that’s required and did a two-car garage oversized and then they did a bonus room.

Now three things that are always hard with the bonus room above the garage and this owner has done an exceptional job. You’ll love this when you come and see this home. One of the things is a transition; the owner took the garage and they made it an extra height in the garage and so there’s a transition going up into the bonus room. But versus being awkward or just not looking well they had these steps and it’s going up from the kitchen and just it really turned out nice.

So that’s one of the main things. The other thing is the exterior; the exterior is always tough to match the bonus room to the existing home, and you can look on my listing and see the outside. After they built this bonus room they redid all of the siding so it blends in perfectly.

Okay the third thing is in a bonus room is getting the temperature, to to be able to control the heating and cooling. What the owner did with this is they put a separate furnace and AC unit for this bonus room.

And so this bonus room is just awesome; you’ve got plenty of lighting and you’ve got LED can lights, you’ve got two fans; both of them have the lights on the fans, you’ve got two windows on this end, you’ve got another window on this end. And let me just show you these views here really quick, looking outside this window up in the mountains.

Anyway, give me a call, contact me, come and check out this home; it’s a great listing. Again Pleasant Grove is just a great place; it’s close to shopping, close to I-15, close to the mountains. Anyway, you will love this bonus room on this home. Talk to you soon.

Best Regards,

Incandescent vs Flourescent vs LED

Good morning everyone, I’m at a good friend’s home and they have over 150 LED lights so I wanted to share a little information about lighting.

As you can see these are LED lights and one of the things that people used to worry about is that they are so directional that they wouldn’t provide the flood of light like fluorescents do.

Incandescent lights last about a thousand hours per lightbulb. Fluorescent lighting, which has a little mercury in it, increases about ten times and last about 10,000 hours per light bulb and use 70% less energy.

LED lights, which have been very expensive until the last couple years, range from 20-50,000 hours per bulb and reduce energy consumption another 30-50% from fluorescents.

So think of this when you are looking to build a home, buy a home, or even just change out your lights!

This is a beautiful home here and you can see how good these LED lights look!

Take care!
