Their house, a typical 19th century Victorian, had been divided into a two family home, leaving them with a set of too-small rooms they'd adapted to fit their needs.
To rescue some of the wasted space, a fourth gable dormer was added to open up the south side of the house, and the other gables were converted into storage and sitting areas, a closet and a bathroom.
The unfinished space was uninsulated so the crew added six inches of fiberglass insulation between the rafters and topped it with two-inch rigid insulation to help keep the new rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
