Do you want any feedback on your house plans?

Sure. I am always welcoming advice. Better to know now than later.

First of all, what are you doing with your upstairs? Is it a giant play room? A bedroom/playroom? Lots of unused space

Kind of. It is a guest bedroom on one end. I really want a lot of open space upstairs. The other end will be a family

#2 I think you are right about the master. I might swap the guest bedroom upstairs and the master.

If you decide against moving the master upstairs, you can always move the door. Or put it behind a bookcase.

jacobugath

No, keep the master right where it's at. You've sufficiently tucked the door

I will be using Nudura ICF for the exterior walls, but I plan to use extra Rebar above all doors and windows.

Ssebo

Don't forget an air exchange addition since you are using ICF.

This is good information. Thanks so much. I have researched these now, and will add one. Thanks.

ICFs are brilliant. Even more reason to include the rat slab in the crawlspace.

You're going to have trouble with them blowing out. Make sure you're grouting in

Are you putting in a basement?

bd52

5/28/23 6:44pm

Ssebo

5/28/23 6:57pm
