The Direction


As promised here is an image showing the current direction. Sorry it's so crappy, it's still in development and I honestly didn't feel like cleaning it all up before posting. This image shows how I draw on top of what the drafters give us in order to give them some direction for where to go. This seems to be working much better than trying to explain it to them. The overall orientation is actually backwards from what it will likely be, but you can still get the general idea. As you can see it is very scaled down from where we were before.

We've been playing with the orientation of the garage relative to the rest of the house. The covenants of the neighborhood where we want to build require a side facing garage, but that's difficult to do without either making the house a lot bigger or pushing it way back into the lot. And the way the lot is situated (and its topography) it actually makes just as much sense for it to be at an angle like shown (remember it will be reversed from this image). We are seeking approval for that. There are already one or two other houses in the addition that don't employ side facing garages so hopefully it's okay. I never wanted a garage that stuck out in front of the house so much, but...compromises must be made.

Feedback Welcome.
