Heading for the Island!

Posted by Wanda

Jim and I are flying out next Wednesday (March 29th) to Vancouver Island to meet with the builder and the designer. We have been working with the designer (long distance, via email) and we believe we are getting pretty close to nailing down the final design. I bought this amazing design software (which Kyla found online, thanks Kyla!) and have been able to send them fairly detailed and accurate plan ideas. I do however rely on the designer and builder to ensure they meet code, the island is in an earthquake zone so they have stringent building requirements.

Here’s what we have come up with so far. Included with the floor plan are just a few 3D screenshots, and yes I know there is no ceiling on them :).

 

House plans & Walk thru

Posted by Wanda

We are starting to work with the builder and the designer to finalize plans for the new house.  We are working toward a potential start date of July 2017.   It’s all pretty exciting and kind of scary as we have never lived any place but Regina Sask!

Below is a Youtube link to an animated walk thru of the plans which Wanda put together using Home Design Suite Software (thanks for the tip Kyla!)

I have also uploaded some preliminary plans which we are still fine tuning.
