I had three years of drafting in HS. Which made me an architect. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
Ever since then I have always wanted to design my own house but I was not crazy enough to design AND build it.
I would constantly design houses even when building was not an option. But finally we got some land and we built the house I designed. It has ADA spec bathrooms. All doors are 36 inches or wider. Limited hallways since a hallway is wasted money and space.
But the hallways we have are over 36 inches wide.
Living in our house for six years now. Hard to believe it has been six years.
There are a few things I would change but they are nits. Like I did not run a coax for an antennae to the TV location. Lots of coax for cable runs to that spot but not one for an antennae. The sparky asked if I wanted one but I said no.
I also should have run Cat 5 to that spot. I will be putting in both over the holidays. I wish I had put the thermostat in a two feet away from its current location. :laughing:
I would likely have changed our window specs slightly. And I wish I had watched the HVAC guy when he was installing the system.
Basically a bunch of nits. Which is pretty danged good for building a house. :thumbsup:
Hopefully we will live to a very ripe old age in this house. That is the plan.
And there is something special about living in the house you designed.
Later,
Dan
