This image also reflects another decision.The original plan basically had the house and the garage at the same elevation. Because of the bedrock formations, etc, the house was not sitting as low in the ground as would have been required for that plan. Image C basically shows the plan view with garage/main floor at approximately the same level.
We had two options: A keep the top of the windows in the garage at the same level as in the main floor, or B keep the windows at the same height off the ground as in the main floor. After looking at these pictures, and driving around to see how other houses were built with respect to window height and changing elevations, we decided to choose option B.
This was kind of a reversal of a discussion I had with Charles and Dave on Friday, but I should have talked it over with Freda first. The bottom image shows what the right elevation of the house will look like.
In other news, the details for the trusses arrived - 95 pages of details, with text that looked like 5 or 6 pts!! Wow!!
