        "text": "In most ground-floor additions, you can remain in your home for the majority of construction because primary framing, roofing, and initial rough trades happen outside your living area. However, you should expect noise, vibrations, and dust during structural foundation work and when cutting through the existing exterior wall to connect the spaces. If your addition involves your main kitchen, a primary bathroom, or extensive structural wall alterations, temporarily adjusting your living routines or setting up temporary barriers helps maintain safety and comfort while work progresses.",
