What to do when you learn of a massive load-bearing post that's been concealed in a kitchen wall you hoped to remove? Design the renovation around that point load to avoid the expense of moving it. New kitchen takes up the old kitchen and the old rear corner study space; a new study takes up old dining room space; a full bathroom and laundry room were relocated and made larger; and a new dining room, sunroom, and covered porch were designed onto the back of the house in a way that keeps the roof simple. It feels like a different house inside now.
