I do hope you find a way to get them built! And the door looks so good in the dry fit, I like that your going to try and add some details to the windows too. I do think adding a small window (like one of the small rectangular ones) up high on the bathroom wall facing into the house would still be okay. Since your adding walls to the bathroom yourself you could make it out of a material that you could easily cut a hole into like foam board (assuming that is what is keeping you from cutting into the main exterior walls).<br /><br />I'm excited to say I actually took the plunge and got the kit :) While I wait impatiently for my parcel to ship through international post I've been trying to contain my excitement by browsing everyone's dry fits... The best part is knowing how different every one makes theirs from the same starting build! I'm going to be going ultra modern!<br />Can't wait to see your progress next :)Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-14670527689443042752017-02-12T13:51:44.436-06:002017-02-12T13:51:44.436-06:00Thanks!

That's brilliant. Especially if I can just use wall sconces for lighting instead of an overhead light. Have to think about that one! Thanks.<br /><br />Yeah I keep thinking about that flat roof and if I want to change it. I'm really thinking of something to give it a slant. I just don't like it flat. Not unless I'm going to turn it into a balcony or something. And really not even then.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-41252772213087808112017-02-11T15:04:38.813-06:002017-02-11T15:04:38.813-06:00Hi Sheila.

Having a slightly hidden kitchen adds interest and mystery in my opinion. You could have the bathroom in a box completely separate from the house that slides in and out of place as required. And maybe a stained glass door would give the bathroom light and privacy at the same time? It would fit with a craftsman theme. And last thing, the flat roof. You could just add a little sloping roof on top of the flat part. Anyways, some things to think about! Have a great weekend!

I'm thinking maybe I could make a very gentle slope and cover the roof with something that looks like tar paper?

There are a few small 50s era houses in my neighborhood with flat roofs and I cringe thinking about them when the feets of snow melt in the spring.iseeceruleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05832050471210490044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927995920080917290.post-50535550871002474712017-02-11T12:38:11.142-06:002017-02-11T12:38:11.142-06:00I'll have to look for pics.
