Cedar Rapids building permits reveal extensive housing activity

A Cedar Rapids listing details numerous permits for new dwellings, remodels, garages, and commercial structures. Notable entries include George Haddy with a new dwelling on Center Point Road, Kenneth Teeter remodeling a commercial property, and Dr. and Mrs. David Thaler funding a large attached garage project.

Garage Serves Many Purposes in Home Construction

An old building guide explains calculating garage space in cubic feet and yards, estimating concrete mix and yardage for a project. It details measuring length and width, subtracting gaps, and using ready mix with pigments, plus tamping fill and placing new concrete between forms for a durable floor.

Preference Found For Renovations As Lending Risks

In a tight money market for new construction, homeowners may obtain home improvement loans from the same lenders. Short term, insured by government agencies, loans can fund remodeling like bathroom updates, kitchen upgrades, moisture control in basements, and garage renovations to add space or a workshop for growing families.
