 Hi Bruce...this particular plan is not one I designed myself, but from the company Design Basics. I'm an authorized Dealer for Insulspan and they mainly deal with Design Basic floor plans for easy structural insulated panel designs for clients...long story...I had a client in Adams, TN that needed a few plans to go into his neighborhood he was developing and he was utilizing structural insulated panels...I tried to get them to build at least one universal designed home. That Berrydale is one of many plans I submitted to the client. They built the house, but the general contractor and the client said it would be too expensive to incorporate UD. Education is very needed!!! And even when you educate there are those that just do not get it.

Bruce, if you take a look at the garage...you can easily make adjustments to the design near the mech. area and make that space part of the house instead of the garage (or you can do both if you like with two doors) to provide appropriate clearance and exit the elevator into the bonus room above. The house functioned really well, only a few areas were of concern for me, but nothing that could not be tweaked.

Sorry Ginger...anyone can purchase a floor plan and anyone can call for help with space planning, questions on universal design, etc., you can ask about structural insulated panels and insulated concrete forms....you get the idea. We try to help as best we can. I should have more plans on my site and on accessible properties soon.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the positive input. It goes a long way on a stressful day...thank you.

You're welcome, Kelly.

Kelly or BurnThisCube,

How is a link anchored on this site?  A clickable link saying "Accessible Properties" should display.

<A href="http://www.accessibleproperties.net">AccessibleProperties.net</A>

It doesn't.

Thanks!

Ginger

Ginger,

I think I found what your looking for, although this probably only works in blogs. I tried it below in this reply but no go.

Go to my disaboom, blog manager, manage content, manage snippets, create new snippet.

Thanks for asking, as I've just been copy and pasting links, which sometimes displays a simple title and other times displays the whole URL. I learn something new everyday.

 I'm glad you included someone else in on that question, because the air was whistling around my head on that one...I have no idea.

DisABoom has TWO swirls, Kelly, and is reminiscent of the rings around Saturn!  Cool beans! :)
