2nd Floor and Roof

The second floor is where we have seen the largest change in the plans from the previous version to this version. Though these charges really arent large, they are the bulk of what we have amended on these plans. Thanks to some thoughts from some other people we smartly moved the door on Astor's bedroom closer to her bathroom door to free up space on the opposite walls. Similarly, we moved the door of the walk in closet from the wall in the bedroom to the hall just inside the door at the entrance of the master suite. This is going to allow us to put the bed on either of the two walls in the bedroom in stead of thinking that it might have only fit on the west wall of the room. The other change on the second floor is the combination of the utility room and the laundry room. We havent exactly figure it out yet related to where to put the washer and drier, but we were just trying to take a door off that wall if we could. In the end it will make the hallway flow just a little better.

The roof again is pretty speculative at this point in the fact that we dont plan to develop it right away. Joe did come up with a very good idea in having a vestibule type set of doors to keep traffic up there that is using the restroom from dumping lots of hot/cold air into the stairway. This will go a long way to keeping this area a more consistent temperature. The other thing Joe added is a set of windows around the stair area that will allow even more light to flow downstairs from this spot. I really like this idea, and think it will bring some even more great light to the house.
