Some of these ideas came from this wonderful site!!!
can you explain this more to me? What 'elevation' is the Boston Hip Roof?
What are cascading sliding doors?
We were thinking of 2 ft bump in front (for bedroom and garage)
4' for Lanai
(not sure what you mean 'straightened the back'?)

You say it also gave you 2ft in the liv rm? how did that work ..?

I really appreciate the feedback by the way! I have not built before and want to be sure I am not missing anything

Thanks!
