Congrats on getting married! Ive been patiently waiting for you to drop a update. Ive currently been working with architect on very similar plans, about to enter the finalization part. We actually based it off these ones you used. Unfortunately in NY gotta have a official stamped set from architect. We basically got rid of the office and made the master bath bigger and made the garage 2' longer. Couple questions: What sizes did you go on garage doors? Do you think ceiling height in garage at 18' is too high? Did you consider building it in a "pole barn " style framing? Also looks like that HVAC duct is awful close to windows, no? Any major things you would have done different? Looking forward to the next update.
@@Dmo528 garage doors are 16'x14' and 10'x14'. 18' is tall in the garage, I'm at 17', so I'm assuming you are going taller so you're ceilings are a little taller in the living space? I would maybe just make better use of it and put at least a small lofted area in the garage, although that can be done down the road. I did post frame, but with my counties codes, this was easier. And yes, the duct is close to the windows. When I frame them in I will have to use smaller trim on the top side of the window. That part is what it is. I do think I would have changed the master suite as well. I wish our shower was a little bit bigger. Other than that, just the mistakes and hiccups we could have avoided that I mentioned in the video. Should be doing another video soon. The insulation is pretty much done, I just need to finish up a couple spots and then do a little bit of framing work so that the area under the stairs can be used for storage. Then it will be time for drywall.
@@voguishcars7150 also one other thing i wanted to ask you. Im as well planning on the 8’ covered porch. Does it significantly block the sun coming in lower windows?

@@Dmo528 I'd say so. The only ones that get any direct light are my east facing windows, for obvious reasons lol
