Need advice!

Someone mentioned getting older - When I designed our house, I made sure all doors and walkways would be 3' or wider in case we ever need wheelchair access. Ramp in from garage instead of step. All on one floor with basement easily accessed from outside. Think about things that might give you trouble as you age.
Having it built will give you more input as someone else also said. If there is chance of high wind in your area, insist on construction designed to take the wind. :thumbsup:

We built our house when we were in our 20's. At that age I guess I never though I would get old. We are still living in the same house and in our 70's with the wheel chairs and all and I sure wish I though about them 3' wider walkways and doors. Another thing I would never had done was put a basement under my house seeing we have trouble going down the steps anymore.
