We will be buying an older home in Florida. It's on concrete slab, with stucco'd cement block walls. Basically, it's an L-shape and I want to extend one leg of the L. I can envision how to do much of this, but seek advice on how to tie in the new to the old.
- How should the new slab be connected to the existing slab?
- How should the new concrete block walls be connected/tied to the old walls? (Which is effectively at the corners of the old wall.)
- Any tips on how to make the stucco match (texture, continuity) so it doesn't appear to be separately applied?
Especially for the first 2 questions, if you also have any recommendations for books that would be a good reference I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks.
