Looks something similar to my 8 1/2 x 14 1/2 B.C. greenhouse. Polycarbonate, aluminum frame, we bought the kit and put it up ourselves. Ours has been up around 14 years and is as good today as when we first put it up and it has stood up to the occasional snow loads dumped on it. The only thing I would do different today is have doors on both ends, you could still have a bench across the end if wanted but you'd have the added ventilation on hot days or depending where situated, access from both ends could be a real bonus. we bought the 8 1/2 x 12 1/2 footer with 1 extra panel to make it 14 1/2 feet long to fit the space I had no matter what size you buy, they're never big enough. Mine looks similar to the one top right but white not green. By the way I love the sliding door feature, I wish I had that on mine. Annette Here is a link that might be useful: Greenhouses

You have a very nice plan. I agree by trying to scale your furniture arrangement to the great room. If you're going to use the seating bar at the kitchen, look at how far out into the great room that extends. With windows on one wall, fireplace on another, kitchen on another, entry on another...you have very little wall space...does that work for you? Our original plan had the fireplace to the inside like that. We moved ours to the back wall flanked by windows instead of bookcases. The fireplace box extends outside the house instead of taking up interior space (also with a porch like yours, you could do a two-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace). Then, we bought a flat screen TV to go on a console against a wall -- takes up less room. If you want to sit on your front porch, make sure it's at least 8 feet deep. We live on 4.5 acres and we have a Toyota Tundra crew cab, standard bed truck and it is 19 ft long as an example of a large vehicle. I agree about having two doors and more space between the vehicles. Are you going to have outside storage anywhere? If not, where will you put lawn mowers, tools, bikes, etc.? As others have said...if you already know you don't want to walk through the laundry room, then look at a similar floor plan with a better configuration for that space. If a similar plan has a front load garage, your builder can turn that into a side load with some extra space added. Cameron

Hi floddedgutted, I don't know if you're still reading this thread, but I took another look at the plan linked above and it strikes me as very impractical for a family with children. For example, there is no front hall closet and most important no mudroom. When kids come inside from the back yard, it looks like they would go straight into the living/dining room. And there's lots of wasted space on the 2nd floor (that big gaping hole, and a sun porch off the laundry room?) I don't mean to pick apart this plan and you might have moved on anyway. But when you look at house plans (or existing homes) I would urge you to think about how you live your every day life... What's the path you'd have to take to get from the car to the kitchen with bags of groceries? What's the path from the front door to the kitchen (where guests always congregate)? Where do kids dump their shoes, jackets, and backpacks when they come in the door? After working in the yard, where will you come and take off your dirty shoes, etc? Maybe I'm biased, but with 2 kids my entire remodel was based on the fact that I wanted a mudroom and was tired of all the shoes, sports gear and backpacks landing in the front hall or the kitchen. I think in a previous post you mentioned you have 4 kids, so you'll have twice as much stuff!
