        "text": "You should choose an outward extension if your current home's interior cannot spare space from adjacent rooms or if you want to expand outward into an outdoor living area. A bump-out or full rear extension allows you to add substantial square footage without sacrificing an existing dining room, living area, or garage. However, the tradeoff is losing a portion of your yard or patio. If your home has underutilized adjacent rooms, knocking down an interior dividing wall may achieve an open-concept kitchen without the expense of foundation work.",
