Unfortunately this means I had to forego an actual garage and have one wall of the carport exposed (which goes into my backyard). I'll close it up after I move in. Overall I'm really happy with my plan, the garage was the only downfall. Kitchen is a little on the small side but as I'll be living alone I guess it won't matter?! Goodluck, I'm sure you'll find a plan you like in no time. Thanks NativeZen! I can't wait to start landscaping, though it's going to be a while away yet. No movement on site yet as of the weekend. Hoping to see some earthworks… 3 2160 Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 5990 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 6196 |
