Final blueprints - Our dream house will be similiar to this


Our blueprints are just about finalized now. We are building a raised ranch house similar to the one attached, the stone will likely be added later, as will the extended deck and gazebo. We will only have a deck over the main section of the house to start. Our land is on a sloped lot similar to this with trees surrounding it as well. Our house plan has three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of which is our master bathroom), dining area, kitchen with an island, living room, huge basement, two car garage, deck, patio, mud/laundry room, huge coat closet, and nice size pantry. I have convinced Bill to make a spot for a doulble oven, I think this is going to be something wonderful that we will really appreciate after it is done. It is so exciting, but so hard to try to think of everything that is important and not forget anything major, all while staying within our budget. Everything is coming along good though, we will meet again next week to discuss final pricing budget, and draw up our contract to submit to the bank. We also will be meeting with the septic designer tonight.


On the current homefront, we finished drywall coating #2, now we have another coat to do, frame closet in, sand, prime, paint and flooring. Our hope is for Elijah's room to be finished by early next week. That is one less thing to do at our current house before we can put it on the market.
