Comments (28)Where is the property? In town? In the country? If intown, what do the surrounding houses look like? In the case of in town, in fill, (which it looks like it might be as I see a high rise in the background), it is important I think to look at surrounding houses and see what they look like. Most of these Betz/Gardner type houses are tract type homes and don't fit well into a long established neighborhood. That doesn't mean you need to match the homes there, so no need to build a 50s ranch for example! If there are lots of bungalows, I would build something with that aesthetic. If there are lots of ranches, I would probably stick with a more traditional looking house in a specific genre, like a cape cod. There are also beautiful french renovations of ranch houses that fit in well in neighborhoods peppered with ranch houses. I am attaching a link to one. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreFloor plan feedback, Don Gardner Zimmerman and Satchwell

Comments (50)cpartist, how did you move in without a CO? Lidia, I would like nothing more than to quit my medical laboratory job and make little houses instead. I may be in a position to at least go part time soon, but I still need all of my tools (which have been in storage since April...ugh) and a decent sized space to do it in... basically I'm saying I need my freaking house in order to make houses....See More- 10 years ago
