The House

 This is what our house will look like. Probably not red though.The top picture is the west end of the house. That's the living/dining rooms with a 2-story ceiling. The bottom picture is the front/south side. 



After we knew where our house would actually be going, we made a few more changes to the plans. The main floor just got some tweaks, the biggest being the addition of a garage stairway to access the storage space above, and reinforcement of the mechanical room to upgrade it to a storm shelter since we won't have a basement. 


The upstairs got totally flipped front-to-back. Since the house will be facing south, I want my sewing room on that side to take advantage of the sun. This will also allow more sun into the downstairs living space. The south window on the living room will be shaded by the front porch, so that window won't allow much light in. The big windows on the end will, but the winter sun will only reach them from a very oblique angle.  


My sewing room will be HUGE! It wasn't a goal, but it's how much space is left after putting a guest room and bath up there. I'm not complaining! Sid gets a den downstairs, as well as a separate building for a wood shop.
