house plans

Damn a house like that in Pickerington would be $$$$$$$$$.

Other than what I already mentioned I like the house.  It\'s got a real open feel to it.  You\'ve thought plenty about noise and what not.  The only other stupid little thing I noticed, and you might not even set it up this way, between your refrigerator, sink, and oven/stovetop is supposed to make a triangle with a perimeter between 14-22 feet.  Right now that stovetop and sink are pretty far apart.

Almost makes me want to bust out the blueprints to our last project (building a second floor) and the ones for the garage, carport and yard(more like a sitting area) that are being built right now. Though the ones at the house are just so huge that i wouldnt even bother. Unless we have smaller versions somewhere.

Architecture is pretty neat but there are just some things about it that i wouldnt want to deal with. Nice plans though. Whats new and whats not? And is there a second floor?

The stairs by the far bedroom go up to an upstairs area that is the game room he described.

Ah i see. I still cant believe that all that will only set the value into the 400\'s. Seems a little low to me. Then again i dont know the area.

That\'s actually already been changed.  THe stove is pushed down a little bit.  Same counter top, just further down.  Sink and dishwasher are where the stove are.  Refridgerator will be to the right of the sink.  Over the sink will be a window looking out at the breezeway.

WHere the sink is right now will be a small vegetable sink and a tap.  Gotta have my bass on tap.


Oh, you can by one hell of a house in FL for 400k.  This isn\'t San Fransisco.

Seriously? The city doest give us much space to have a crap load of land. Well thats not true, but when somebody in Chicago owns a house on a lot of land then its expensive as hell. I wish i had a picture of this one place a block away from me. Its not too huge and it has really nice yard space, both on the side and in back and its going for at least a million i know that.

I dont remember how many sq feet our house is but im not sure if its as big as your plans, and as things stand im pretty sure the house is at least at 400 if not getting close to 5. I have to ask but i have no idea what the garage (2.5 with 1 car port next to it) etc will do. (we have a carport now thats all torn up to lay new cement. pretty ugly right now).

Well shit you\'ve got things figured out.

The problem I have is that My parents have a lot next to mine.  Their house is 7200 square feet under roof.

The other neighbor is 4500 square feet.

If I don\'t do something dramatic I will look very small.  The design of the house will make it look very large from the road.  Really 3300 square feet isn\'t that big.  Remember, this is a 4 bedroom.  Heck, even the pantry in the thing is 30 square feet.  It will certainly be a fun house.  I just need to scrape some pennies together.

My biggest problem is that I hate my job and desperately want to change.  I may have a hard time financing if I change jobs now.  I\'m some where between a rock and a hardplace on this one.

Wifey just got a little raise though.  That\'s pretty cool.

Have your parents pay!

THere\'s always something that is overlooked.  That\'s why I figured I\'d let you cats look at it.  To see if there is something I hadn\'t thought of.

One thing I want to change also is the 45 degree angle on the back porch.  That needs to be a couple feet bigger to hold a tv set for the outside porch.

Whats the elevation like,  is the deck going to be just right above the ground or what?

Haven\'t gotten the elevation yet.  The deck will probably be about 10" off the ground.  I don\'t want to have to get a ton of fill to build up the slab for the rest of the house just to get the porch up high.  My property is high and dry so I really want to try and not throw a bunch of money into dirt.  We\'ll see.

I get the elevation plans the end of next week.  Not sure if I\'ll get a copy, but at least I\'ll get to see them.

The chick who is doing the plans is pretty cool.  My dad and I will do a lot of it ourselves.  Like the framing and finish work, etc.  He\'s a stickler for details and I will probably want to kill him by the end of this thing, but oh well.
