Front Elevation Help! Pics please
Comments (39)Let me tell ya. Sometimes it's hard to take in what people comment, but it could save you in the long run. We had plans picked out, posted photos of our land and the possible home. Got many NO's! The house would look wrong where we are building. We took it- thought about it and they were right. So we changed it all together and now love the new plan and we are just now getting siding on. So take a deep breath and double read what people post before letting emotions take over and get upset over it. I took Renovator8's post as he was giving you a description of what Neo eclectic meant. Not totally saying that's how he felt about your plan. Anyways-- you ultimatly have to live with whatever you build. Go with what feels right and enjoy the process....See MoreOh boy... need some elevation help!
Comments (29)clarified. the outer walli 6ft, my bad. We have been in a house with this plan and it was fine for us and even our contractor who is 6'5". Milly - there is a maximum sq ft on these city lots. Our total build allowable should be 2772sq ft for the whole house. Because of this cheat, we gain an additional 130 sqft. - and we can show it for resale. Our decision to do it was based on going through the other house with this roofline and really wanting the additional sq feet so that the bedrooms aren't super tiny. It is easy to put headboards against a lower wall. John - It has nothing to do with taxes, they are the same regardless. Too high! :) And the mechanical stuff is in the architects drawings, not the designers - they are there! The architect and designer talked yesterday and they are working on something together, i don't think it will be any of my windows or the neat idea from PPF, but i will post it when they get it to me....See MoreAddition front elevation help

Comments (8)We spend most of our time in the front yard because of our kids and neighbors, so we would really like somewhere covered to sit. I am fond of my copper gutters although they have darkened up a good bit over the past couple of years…but I would totally paint them white if they were a standard metal gutter!...See MoreSheri Smith
