House Plans Are Done

Here they are -- the approved floor plans! This first one is the main level. We have an open living/dining/kitchen area on the right side, and studios/offices for Rex and myself on the left, with a full bath also. The stairs in the back leading up will have one of those ride up seat thingies for me on the days I need it.



This is the second floor. We have a huge master bath on the left of the master bedroom and the closet of my dreams on the right. In the back and around to the righ we have a train/game/tv/visit area. I'm having dreams about warm towels after the shower from the laundry room right up there. And our big luxury is going to be one of those Kholer programmable showers in the master bath.



For the outside we are thinking sage green siding with deeper green or perhaps a deep reddish brown trim. We want to blend into the landscape as much as possible.

We have many green features being built into this house. There will be a rainwater catch system that will be used for flushing toilets and watering the landscape. We will use hardscape rather than greenscape -- no lawns. And a garden railroad for us both to play with. We will be drilling for geothermal for the heating and cooling. And we will have tankless water heating. Radiant heat in the floors on the first level and solar panels on the roof facing east (the front faces east) will complete the package.

This is also a small house as such things go: the downstairs is a little under 900 sq. ft, and the upstairs a wee bit larger.
