Dream House

[Guest guest]

Well, I just built a house and I made some designs in it (realistically) so

that we can afford the house and live with Elie. I still need to install an

alarm system and a proper fence. Here are some of the changes that we made:

house is one story. with a terrace (basement) level. Bedrooms were split -

master br and bath on one side, Elie's br and bath plus an office on the

otherside of the lr. LR wall moved so that someone in the bathroom cannot

be seen from LR. Door on wall leading to Elie's side of the house. Deck

off laundry room, not kitchen so I can lock the door from the kitchen and

keep Elie out of that area if I want to. We are building a soundproof

sensory type room in basement in an area away from windows. All lite and

sight will be installed with no external stimuli. Another side of this room

will work as a tornado room.

Then I need to figure out a way to fence an acre without bankrupting myself

or making the neighbors scream - no I am not using electric cattle wire!!

Altho the thought entered my mind!!!
