DAY 10 - Rethinking the floor plan - Windows schematic

DAY 10 - Reviewing the floor plan, the use of each space and physical layout led us to make some floor plan changes.  Initially we wanted 2 bedroom home since we were downsizing. However, we ended up with a 3 bedroom plan, with one very small guest bedroom. Today we made some slight changes.

We removed the wall between the two extra bedrooms making one large 19'x12' room. We took out the closet in the hall and extended the wall towards the front of the house giving us a very large walk in closet. The closet that was in the tiny room was removed and a shelving system in the mud room will take its place. By making these small changes we removed 3 interior doors, one wall and gained alot of storage. Not to mention saving a significant number of Franklins!



We will be ready to mark cement and hand over plans for window placement in a few days. The lower side wall windows are all 35 x 71 aluminum sitting 24" off the floor. The kitchen windows are 35 x 35 and will be at 46" above the floor. Bathroom window is 23 x 35 and also at 46" above the floor.
The challenge may be placing the three windows above the front door.... Here is a view of how we designed the front. The software program is showing 6/12 roof, so the pitch will be a little different since we are building at 5/12 pitch.
