I like b. It's naturally the way we usually do things when we first get home: throw our coats on the sofa, turn on the tv, get upstairs, and then get down to kitchen. Why should you see the kitchen first thing when you enter the house?
Also because I feel that there shouldn't be any "hard" structure in the middle of the house (staircase in plan f, for example). But a drawback for plan b is that there are not enough bathroom (shower and tub alike). |

It really doesn't matter to us which part of the house you see first upon entering. What's important is that every part (kitchen and living area) is connected. So that I can cook dinner and still talk to BF sitting on the couch or the kids who are playing in the sitting area. Right now d and f are my favourites. A combination of the two would be even better |

I've just heard from the agency. It seems the interview went well. I hope to hear something official in the next few days. Then there need to be some background checks, but I don't anticipate any problems there.
Just finished Coke Zero #4. I'm definitely falling back into bad habits here. I shall try to get back to two a day, with iced water otherwise. |

a second at least toilet is critical, some buyers won't even look at places with just one toilet. the ability to have a bath and a shower is desirable, don't exclude a bath over the shower, a shower wand can be added to a tub, you're kind of limited with a shower only. the open/great room concept is king now. galley kitchens or kitchens which are small rooms are dinosaurs. people are spending a great deal in modifications to renovate these kitchen dinosaurs. the other thing I would add which you may or may not be able to add is a second room that is either a family room, play room, or formal living room... just something to let the kids have some space away from the adult area that does not have to be kept in a pristine condition all of the time |
