Q. My parents & I are having a house built & we have an appointment at the home design center. They say it should take about 4 hours. Does it really take that long to pick out countertops & molding? What kinds of things should we be looking for?
A. It usu. takes that long as you will be bombarded with many, many questions and faced with many design combinations. Make sure to eat before going to insure that you blood sugar doesn't drop and you become moody and anxious. Get plenty of rest. Check with the home design center to see if you and mama nem' can walk through the center just to see the different finishes, hardware, etc. It is a bit daunting to have to make a decision having not seen the choices until the day, hell, minute before you have to make them.
In terms of what you should look for keep an eye on price as you can face cost overruns without batting an eye. Those selections add up to big dollars real fast. Don't skimp on counter tops, cabinets, sinks and floor finishes. These items can increase the re-sale value of your home and they are the most costly to change. I would go with the least expensive fixtures like door handles, faucets, light fixtures, etc. as any handyman can change them for you after you're in the home and the handyman's cost will most likely be lower than that of your builder. Good luck to you and Mama nem'

How do I give a presentation for a new home design?
Q. I have to write a paper in English and basically make a presentation for a panel of judges. I picked that I will create a new home design for a sub division for my "job" and I need to know how to go about creating this?
A. I would first draw a floor plan for your new home design...Be sure to include some neat features that you would want to include in your home.....then, in your paper, describe the floor plan with all of these neat features. Pretend you are talking to a potential buyer and are trying to sell them this house. The more that you can describe about these neat features, the better your paper will be!!!!
Should I order home design software or have an architect draw my 3d plans?
Q. My wife and I are building a house this year. We've come up with a rough sketch of what we want. Our architect is going to turn our idea into plans for $3000. I want to see a 3d version of our design. He charges $1000 to add a 3d version of the plans via disc. I can buy the most elite home design software for less than $200 and sell it for almost as much when I'm done. Which should I do? The house we are building is a simple 2000 sq ft ranch with a finished basement.
A. no just order home designs only then it's cool
