A tremendous accomplishment by Mark and his family
Mark and Karen have just completed a major addition to their home in Whitehall. This is the home
they plan on retiring to. The work was started May 2011 and completed Sept 2012. The total addition is 1456 sq ft, 936
sq ft living space and 520 sq ft of additional garage space. Master bedroom suite is about 600 sq ft and Heather's bedroom
and bath is about 175 sq ft. The new garage has doors in front and back so that you can drive snowmobile in and out on a raised
floor to protect the concrete. This effort was mainly Mark, Karen, Heather and Mark Jr.'s, but
they did have help from family members and friends. The ones who are identified in some of the pictures are Mark, Karen,
Mark Jr., Dan (Mark's brother), Tommy (Karen's brother), Jedd (Karen's nephew), Walt (Karen's brother-inlaw), Pat and Rich
Murray (longtime friends of Mark's, who work with him at IONA). All interior pics are of rooms in the new addition.
Kelley and Mark Jr.'s bedrooms are in the original portion of home.
