The Roanoker May/June 2017 - 88
While the large windows
were already in the home
before renovation, the
owners added a vaulted
ceiling and a beautifully
redone fireplace to make it
more spacious.
BEFORE
AFTER
the Glickfields researched house designs and found the
ultimate unique feature for their home: an indoor slide
made by American Playgrounds.
"We thought it'd be a great idea and a good way to
set the tone for the house being a play space for us,"
Jessi says. "The slide was our original idea and we fell
in love with it."
"The slide was a really cool feature that integrates the
lower and upper levels and honestly was easily implemented," Hume says.
Their son and resident slide expert, Andy, is five and a
half, and very happy with the slide, saying he uses it "all
the time." So does their three-year-old, Wyatt, though
he's not quite climbing back up the slide (instead of stairs)
just yet like his big brother. Jessi and Logan Glickfield use
it all the time, too, proving it's fun for the whole family!
The slide was a long process into their renovations.
Jessi ordered the slide before construction even began.
Building Specialists, Inc. project manager Josh Beisley
88 | MAY/JUNE 2017
found the biggest challenge in getting the slide inside.
His team converted old garage doors into walk-out patio
doors, bringing the slide in on the bottom level so it
would physically fit inside the house.
The slide itself was stored in its packaging for several
weeks while finishing work was done around it, and finally put into place once drywall and painting were completed. As they continued with new HVAC installation,
plumbing reconfigurations and more, Beisley would work
with the homeowners and his team to ensure success.
"One big thing that benefitted the end result was a
standing weekly meeting with the owners," Beisley says.
"That allowed for on-the-fly changes and adjustments
to be made every time a new idea was dreamt up. Many
times we start with a paper plan and details match up
in the end, but this was a bit opposite in that we had a
plan as a great starting tool and as the owners saw how
things came together, we made modifications to make it
their own functional space."
