Changes To The House Plan…
My wife and I sat down over 2 days and wrote everything we needed to change, in the margins of the rough draft of our house plans. Here is a partial list of what we had, followed by what we changed.
- When I told the architect that I wanted a huge shower, and no garden tub, he said, “OK, How Big”? I told him I wanted a shower that was at least 5′ by 8′, and he laughed at me. Now that I’ve seen how big a 5′ by 8′ shower is, I understand why he laughed. So, we changed the shower size down to about 4.5′ by 6′, and it looks a whole lot better. It also give us the room to put a whole row of floor to ceiling cupboards in the bathroom. (You can never have too many cupboards)
- As mentioned in the last post, we increased the garage size so that we get a couple of more feet on the back wall.
- We had a fireplace on the main wall in the living room, but moved it into the corner on the back wall, that way we can put a 60″ plasma TV on the main wall without having to hang it above the fireplace. I stayed at a place once where the television was over the fireplace, and my neck hurt for a whole week after I left. You can’t look up at a TV, while sitting down, without needing a whole handful of Advil for the next week.
- The wall where the fireplace was will now include a whole wall of built-ins… Kind of cool, but spendy.
Need to go and see what else has to be changed.
