The In-Law Suite Revolution
Many of our visitors have inquired about In-law suites, and we have deliberated long and hard over the issue. We have searched our house plans for months now attempting to find the answer to the In-law dilemma. No personal issues here, just where to house them when they, or any other parents, are joining or visiting your home. Our requests have come from people of all walks of life, rich and poor, searching for large and small houses. However, they have one similarity: they each love their parents and want a respectable place for them to live. It’s a second master bedroom for some and a completely separate apartment for others.

Garage House Plans and Apartments
I want to let out one of our best kept secrets. We have a unique collection of versatile home plans, and that is our garage house plans. These come in two different groups: simple garages of all sizes and garages with apartments above them. Each offer a powerful set of options to your lifestyle that make storage, play, housing guests, nurturing children, and making money easy! Storage is a problem with a lot of smaller homes and with the cost to build only rising; it can be difficult to justify moving to a larger home. Another garage is often the answer. If you have the land and a permit, a second garage can be the bonus space youve been looking for. These structures are perfect for a secure shop or barn. Play time is another prob Read more

Benjamin Franklin once wrote that "Fish and visitors smell in three days." That statement is usually the truth, but there are a few precautions that can be taken to remedy these problems. Yesterday's fish stays fresh when kept in a refrigerator, but what can be done about visitors? There aren't many things in life that are as wearisome and stressful as the unexpected long-term houseguest.

Home designers understand this dilemma, and they have thought of an excellent solution --- the " In-Law Suite! " Home Designers are creatin Read more
