Photo of the original floor plan (minus the garage floor plan). What they called the
Family Room, we called the Dining Room. What they called the Dining Room, we considered
to be part of the Living Room. Also, there are no more doors separating the kitchen
from the other rooms.
Photo of the landscaping plans we had Country Arbors come up with. We moved out
before getting a chance to implement any of it. However, the plans come with the house.
This also shows the orientation of the house on the lot.
