HI EVERYONE! It's been a long time since I've been on here. I've been very busy since that last time; I've gone back to college as well as had a few sewing projects to complete, and I haven't had much time to come up with any new homes. I'm now free for the summer, and I have a house that I can share! YAY!
A friend of mine fell in love with this one house that she'd seen for sale online and asked if I could come up with something similar but updated. Basically, what I would do to it if she had been able to buy it. That I did using this program, here. My friend didn't actually buy it, so I didn't think it would be right for me to post it here, but since I had changed quite a bit of it, I figured that it wouldn't be too bad of me to do so.
She liked what I came up with, and then she saw something online about shipping container homes, and thought of using shipping containers as the base for this house, and that changed the house quite a bit, and now I feel safe in sharing.
I haven't gotten very far with it just yet, but I have the basic floor plan for the house... mostly figured out. Well, as figured out as I can until I actually start putting things into it.
Here's what I'd started with. I'd found a website that sells shipping containers in many sizes, either 20' (approx. 6.1 meters) or 40' (approx. 12.2 meters) long and either 8'6" (approx. 2.6 meters) or 9'6" (approx. 2.9 meters) tall. All are 8', or about 2.4 meters, wide. I used those dimensions to get this rough outline. I went with a mixture of 20' and 40', and all of them are 9'6" tall.
After some work I was able to come up with this floor plan, which is pretty close to what the other house was, although not quite. Here's an aerial view of that floor plan. As you can see, it's only in the initial stages, so there's quite a lot of work to go to get this version closer looking to the other one.
As you can tell, I am still not sure how to get my pictures to actually post here from MediaFire.
