Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
Q:I am considering this plan, and would like it with the attic and basement stairs. Where will the entry from the garage be located? Also, will an average sized car fit with the stairs, I assume it will. I would not mind if the laundry room is moved over to fit the door, as I will eliminate having a bathtub in the corner of the master bath, prefer just a shower stall.
A:The entry into the home from the garage would be at the end of the wall between the stair and garage. You can see an opening on the layout with the words “Optional Stair to Basement” . This opening would be the doorway into the home.
The garage size would be 19’3” x 19’3”. Please verify with your vehicle size.
Modifications can certainly be done to meet your personal preferences.
Q:
Question regards the bonus room above the garage...what are the floor dimensions with a minimum of 5'0 of head room. With a 7/12 roof pitch there doesn't seem to be enough room. Is a bonus room possible above the garage or the great room?
A:The area above the garage can be 17’ x 19’ with 5’ side walls.
There is no room available over the great room with the 11’ ceilings that exist in that room. The ceiling would have to be lower to allow for space above.
Q:Does the plan come with a block or concrete basement? Also, is the garage shortened or extended out when the basement stairs are added?
A:The basement is concrete. The basement stairs on our original plan will shorten the garage; however, we have an extended version as well. Just make sure when ordering the basement with the extended garage is requested on the order if the extended version is preferred.
Thank you,
Larry
