Our Houseplan

We are planning on building a new house coming up...this Spring already! I am really getting excited about the whole process, however, I know it's going to be a ton of work. Just thought I would give you a peek at the plan that we are somewhat following! There are a few changes to it to fit my family better. (For example, we are moving the garage to the side of the house, and we have to find room to put in steps for a basement, among other things!) We also had to cut a few feet off here and there so that it wouldn't be too big!

Any one have any tips on how to survive?!
