building a pool house in a small space

Comments (6)The house will be about 3500 sq total with pool house. We are thinking of stamped concrete around the pool area with no grass. Landscaping in contained areas. Would like to have a hottub and a raised lounge area for laying out. Hope that makes sense.

Comments (25)I totally agree. I said that I either want all four bedrooms on the same floor or at least two or three close together. I could always move the youngest as close to mom and dad as possible and allow the oldest to move upstairs or downstairs although unless they are about 14 I would still feel uncomfortable with them alone downstairs. In our rental now the masters in downstairs and I find it uncomfortable and exposed. I tend to like actual bedrooms either upstairs or downstairs. If I go with a basement type home I would rather eliminate the second floor to account for extra cost in the basement. for this reason I would have to deal with bedrooms on the main floor....See MoreBuilding a new home -- Blessing it & fun ideas during the build?? HELP
Comments (2)heres my suggestion for the next person building (jan 7 too late to help you) LIVE there... by that I mean be there a lot as the framing is done... I cant tell you how many times I have changed an interior wall right before or during or right after it goes up.... there is just something about seeing it up that makes a difference. now... any change can cost a bit.. but NOTHING like it will cost later... some changes are easier than others. but trust me, we have never done a new home without some change....See Moresubl1002
