Making A Home

I thought I would share a bit more about our home design.  I think I should have got to architectural school.  I love home designs and floor plans.  I stalk the Saturday paper for the weekly plan and I’ve also enjoyed browsing through them online. 
Quite awhile ago, I got a home design software called Envisioneer Express 5.0. It allows you to create your own floor plans, and home models.  I did this for my parents when they built their house 8 years ago.  And I’ve had TONS, I mean TONS of designs on there that I loved. 
So when it came down to the chance that we might actually decide to build a home, I looked to my designs and created some new ones. 

This was the final cut.  A one level house with room for everyone and maybe more to spare.
If you didn’t know, my husband has been in a wheelchair since January 2006, and shortly after that we bought the house in town and fixed it up for us to live in.  And it’s been great, but our dream has been to be in the country. 
So we needed a few things.  One level, so that we didn’t have to worry about an elevator or chair lift.  4 bedrooms, so everyone can have their space, now and if/when they come back to visit.  I wanted my craft room.  I am lucky, I know!!  We wanted a large garage that can house our cars and Greg’s tools.  And more space for all of us to move about and be together in. 
I’m pretty excited seeing how this design on the computer is coming to life.  and learning a little about it in the process. 
RIGHT NOW…
We are pouring cement for the garage.  Then the phone, water, power and propane can be ran into the house. 
Then the rest of the taping and mudding will be done and the texture sprayed.  Hopefully, by the weekend, we will be painting.
