AdebajoOluwaseyi personally, I prefer the first floor plan to this new one, except if the changes were made for the walls to align with upper floor.
In this new one, one kitchen’s window is at the front porch, which is what I dont like.

Hello, thank you for sharing! Did you plan your house by yourself, or did you discuss some key points with the construction company? It is really impressive. If you dont mind, I will approach you when I need suggestions for making my new house construction plan. I am planning to buy a new house next spring when the real estate market prices fall, so with the help of my Mortgage Advice Essex, and I will get good mortgage rates. I was waiting till real estate prices started falling, and thanks to Joe Biden, they are falling by a huge amount because of his political decisions.
