Second Opinions On Home Plans. We get asked about all sorts of home plans. Mostly, what do we think about what we were sent. We call these second opinions - second opinions of home plans. These home plans second opinions to follow come from both home stock plan submission and from custom home design submission. As a general statement, we are summarily unimpressed by the quality of most others' work. Read on and get a grip on where we're coming from.

LOUISIANA SHOTGUN HOME REDESIGN The following is a verbatim copy of a home plan consulting commission we executed for a couple in Baton Rouge, LA.

GRAPHICS GULCH IN HOME PLAN DESIGN PROGRAM During our work on home plan elevations, it became clear to us that a substantial part of our problem in illustrative presentation was that the elevations didn't account at all for the different pieces relative to each other, that is, their depth in perspective - the home being considerably forward of the breezeway and garage. That launched the old boy on a crusade into home plan design program's Graphics Gulch.
