RESIDENTIAL ALTERATION OR RENOVATION

I desire to convert the dining room into a third bedroom. I have the understanding that before I bought the house, in 1985, the existing dining room existed as a third bedroom. The project requires removing the half-wall and counter top, that sits between the kitchen and dining, and in its place putting a full wall, with an interior entrance door, and building a clothes closet in the new bedroom, against the new wall. In the bedroom, on the new wall, I will also install a smoke detector and electrical outlet. The room has baseboard heat (circulating hot water) on the two exterior walls, which the project will not touch.
