These shots are from southeast, southwest, and from inside the dining room looking out southwest. The first two windows on the right belong to the sewing room / bedroom which is off of the split entrance. Moving to the left, top floor, the first 3 windows and next 2 sets of two windows are the living room and dining room respectively. This is one huge room. The picture taken inside shows the dining room and the second set of two windows. The china cabinet you see is against the wall that seperates the dining room from the Guest Bedroom. It's currently being used as an office, which is where I'm currently keyboarding from. This room is the next two windows. the last two windows belong to the Master Bedroom. Bottom floor, from right to left, the first 3 windows belong to what was a family room and is now an exercise room. Then there are 4 sets of two windows; each set is a bedroom. The house (not counting the split entrance) is 56' long and 28' wide. There are no interior weight bearing walls. This is a double-framed (10 1/2" walls) house with floor trusses and roof trusses. The professional engineer that reviewed the design said the floor could hold an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. Everything was over-speced (eg. if specifications were every 24", we went every 18".) The studs are Burrill studs (perfectly straight, pre-cut, kiln-dried 2X4's with waxed ends.) The windows are double/triple glazed Anderson Windows.
