Demo Stage

I have had so many thoughts about how I wanted the layout of the house to be and was constantly changing my "perfect floor plan" when new bits of information came in.  The first real solid decision I made was where to put the kitchen.

That decision was made after I did a full day of research at the City of Phoenix permit and zoning building.  After lots of questions and an understandably frustrated city zoning employee there was really only one place I could place a two car carport and nowhere I could place a garage unless I wanted to build a free standing 1 car garage (which is expensive and I really want two car parking).

I found out the carport must get placed on the North side of the house so the kitchen needs to be placed close to the carport.  So most of my favorite floor plan ideas needed to be scrapped.  But after talking it through with some friends and family I came up with a pretty great floor plan and went ahead with the demoing of the old tile and walls.

Below are some before and after pictures.
