Andy and I have been fortunate to discover that we have very similar tastes in house layouts, decor and furniture. So the process of working out which house to build has been fairly straightforward.
We are looking to build something like this plan below, although we would be flipping it so that the garage is on the right and the walls with the least windows are on the Western side to minimise the hot afternoon sun getting in.
We have an appointment with the builder for next Tuesday to fine tune our wish list and work out if it fits our budget. Yikes!
It's great to be able to progress this aspect of our plans whilst the land is waiting to settle. Hopefully by the time the land settles we will be all sorted and ready to submit the plans to council for approval.
I'm being my usual stress-head and worrying about things that may not happen, whilst Andy is online browsing all of the lovely furniture and fittings we would like. I need to take a leaf out of his book and chill a bit!
With that in mind, I got up early this morning and went for an hour long walk. Hopefully that calms my frazzled brain and helps me to sleep a bit better!
Hi Kim and Andy.
ReplyDeleteMum and I both love the look of the house, plenty of room for borders!
A comment out of the box, can you angle the house to the block so you do not have the narrow walkway down the laundry side. It would be a bit like we did here. Makes for a nice area to landscape and not just a wasted space. Just a thought.
Love to you both Mum and dad.
