As Official as it Gets

Most people have to have official blueprints to build a house. The bank requires it for a construction loan. Well my grandfather is giving me my construction loan, so I'm afraid this is as official as my house plans will get. Dad gave me several copies for plumbers, electricians, and what not. I took one copy and drew our furniture placement. If you look closely you can tell the changes dad made after talking to me, his lines aren't as straight as the others. Anyways, here it is. Our new home. I freaking LOVE my dog shower in the laundry room! If your wondering where all the storage space is, well there will be an attic above the garage. I gave up the storage closet in the garage for my dog shower. Once Kev get his metal building/shop built, he will either park over there and I can use the other half of the garage for storage; or he can park in the garage and I can use some of the metal building/shop for storage.

You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
