The blueprints.

These are the original blueprints, we've made some changes, and will probably have to make some more before we're done. Recently, when deciding where to place the house in the yard, in the interest of seeing the sunset through our front windows the house got turned in such a way that we had to move the garage door to the right so that we could pull into it from our driveway, so the garage door won't be in the front of the house like it shows on the prints.

To the left of the garage you can just see the front door which is located in the breezeway which connects the garage to the house. Then there are three windows, a patio door,and three more windows.If you walked through the patio door you would walk through the living room and into the kitchen 

 This is the rear of the house, on the left is the garage.Then there's the breezeway, and you can see the little dog door there, Rod will fence off some space behind the garage so the dogs can come and go out the dog door. Next are the French Doors that will be in Chris's room. Then the French Doors to the master bedroom. Then there's a window that is in the studio, and the landing for the door that we'll use to carry wood into the house, that's near the wood stove.

This is the floor plan, not easy to see..We'll actually be placing our dining room table on the right nearer to the front foyer. Also the kitchen layout has changed a lot as I've had more time to think it over, but the basic shape is still the same.
Our objective was to build a home we could grow old in (especially since we're 2/3 of the way there!!), one story, wide doorways and hallways (in case one of us would ever be in a wheelchair),idea's along that line of thinking.
