I think I've "fixed" the alternate version to make the back not look like I'd just slapped an extra room on.
I added a small office/storage room to the back of the garage and lengthened the new bedroom. In doing so, I've had to move the HVAC unit and water heater a bit as well as the garbage bins to the privacy wall. I also have the brick facade going all the way around the new addition so that it blends better.
I think I've gotten the alternate version pretty well done then. Any thoughts? [:)]
