I'm hoping that a head-on view of the minimum projector alcove I'll like to have will help make the idea look less daunting that perhaps the original overhead floor plan view might have done, so I just e-mailed him the sketch below. I've also told t…

I'm wondering if I'm going to make our builder's head explode when he sees the drawing below. I hope we're not trying his patience too much with all of our design tweaks. I didn't want to suggest any more floor plan changes at this point. Nothing…

We're already planning outlets in most of the closets, and recharging things was one of the considerations. Two closets are actually going to function as "pet bathrooms" for the cats and rabbits, with pet-sized doors for the pets, and larger door…
