Building a Home Design Dilemma Using Houzz

Silly Houzz question about seeing floor plans

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

So like many here, I'm obsessed with seeing other floor plans and reading the critiques using Houzz on my laptop. I end up scrolling up and down to see the original post with the plan pictures and then back to read a comment, back up to see the plan, down to read more comments, back up to see the plan, etc. Short of opening each post in two threads and leaving one on the floorplan picture, how do most people see the plan and the comments more efficiently or at least, easily?

Most of the designs I see posted here on Houzz I try to forget.

Thats what I do if I really want to get a good feel for the plan.

I try not to offer advice if I don't have a good feel for the plan but I've stopped offering advice if there's inadequate information and that seems to be increasingly the case. .

two windows of the same page, one showing the floor plan, the other reading comments. Or at least thats what I should do. Often Im lazy and scroll up/down
