Engineering and Permits!

Planning...CHECK!

Some of the hardest and most important choices you make are during planning.  Some of the most important things to even get the process moving are permits.

Cue: ENGINEERS!

Thanks to Harold Donnelly and Pence Engineering, LLC!  These masterminds have enabled us to have a pretty painless planning stage of this amazing journey.  Hal Donnelly has helped us with the foundation, lot excavation plans, and septic plans.  Without him and his brilliant mind, I would say we definitely wouldn't have faith and confidence on where we are setting our house, what we are setting it on, and how our house would function with the delicacies like running water and flushing toilets, haha! And thanks to David Pence for working so hard to accommodate all our requests!

After coordinating where we'd like windows, doors, and our entire floor plan we can up with these :)

Our master bedroom is in the top left corner of the main floor plan, with a guest bedroom on the right side.  We have a 3-piece bathroom with a stand-up shower in the corner.  Next to that, is the utility/laundry room with our stacked Whirlpool Duet washer/dryer, an upright freezer, and the water heater.  Across the hall is a 1/2 bath and storage room for all of Rick's work necessities. The kitchen, dining room and great room are all open concept from there down, with a fireplace in the bottom left corner.  We will be putting our couch and TV in the lower right area.  The first floor plan you see on the left side of the first picture is the upper level/loft.  From the stairs back to the bedrooms will be open for the children to have a play area.  Lillie picked the room above ours to be hers, they'll share the bathroom and of course Landon gets the bedroom on the right.  So hopefully this gives you a little better idea of how we are planning our home!  It's all so exciting and I have to say thank you again for all the support of our family and friends, because without them, this definitely would not be possible!
