comments/questions by Tim
- What is the best view from inside the house?
- The laundry might best be in a less prime time spot.
- If you are gonna do all the work to raise the roof, you should get more out of it.
- I like the general program and the connection between your kitchen, porch and outdoors.
- A little piece of outdoor space for the tenant would make a world of difference to them.
- The addition would be an easy build.
- Putting a full bath in the lower level could be a nightmare. Is there a toilet down there already? A drain at floor level?
- The yard is small, is it the best use of the site to push the building envelope into the backyard?
- The greenhouse would be on the west side? Where is the little arrow pointing north? I am disoriented.
