The Lilac while we both liked it aside from a few $ bucks more because we must have a left drive on this lot the east side of the lanai is closed off meaning no morning sunrise on the lanai, the WP is unrestricted.

We can also build a spa with all the room on the lanai, can't do that on the Lilac really.

Our lot has 2' to play with, I realize the lanai is big on the WP, about 9x32 and I can build a birdcage an additional 18', so maybe big is an understatement, huge is a better word. Therefore, to bump the back out is kinda crazy.

Maybe better to take the garage forward 2' and do a bow window on the 3rd bedroom.

The dining area is not something we would get much use out of and will build a home theater into that area using the 3rd bedroom wall for the screen, the closet behind can house the equipment and speakers allowing them to be flush mounted on that wall.

I'm going to do an actual measurement on the garage today, I think it's larger than the plan which tends to rounds things off.

I also noticed the windows are different height in the cedar and WP about 6" lower in the cedar, need to measure that out?????

I also loved the Whispering Pine. My only concern was that if you put bar stools, it felt narrow between the kitchen/bar and the living room. We went with the Lilac, but to get a little more room, we added two feet width to the laundry - kitchen - breakfast nook, and then brought the kitchen bar into the kitchen with those two feet. The bar doesn't go up to the carpet, you have some space there. You can go look at it on my page, there's a picture in week 6 where you can see it.
