Here we go again...

It seems like the renovation process was off to a good start and then came to a grinding halt when we realized there was a major problem in our plans.  Unfortunately, our architect had mis-calculated where our house sat on our property and the design we had settled on would not fit within the set back lines.

Back to square one.  We were more than frustrated.  The architect was frustrated.  Luckily we are back to heading in a good direction.  We now have two plans ("D" and "E") that we are making some tweaks to, getting a price from a contractor, and then we will make a decision from there.

Plan D

 The above plan, "D" is currently our favorite.  Although it will offer less square footage, it has a two-car garage.  We are hopeful that this plan can be in our budget.  We will be modifying this plan to rearrange the "mud/laundry" room configuration and also switching the location of the master bath and closet.  We are hoping to add a door from the master bath directly to the outside since we most often need the bathroom when we are swimming/hot-tubbing.

Plan E

Plan "E" is our plan without a garage.  It is more square footage, and has 5 bedrooms for our growing family.  This plan will be modified to make the "mud/laundry" room larger, and possibly moving the 1/2 bath.

We can't wait to see the tweaked versions and get some quotes to see which direction we end up heading.
