Good news from the design team!! When our sales rep told them that we wanted to stretch the Lanai by 2 ft by taking 2 ft out of the LR/DR, they offered instead to give us a 1 ft stretch to the rear, this would be across the entire rear, making the Master 1 ft deeper as well as the Lanai. AND they would move the LR/DR wall back in 1 ft to give us a 10 ft lanai. Actually per the floor plan it is 10'8" because it is frame. I can live with that!!!
We will also keep the 2 ft stretch to the guest/LR side, so the LR space will actually be a bit larger than the original plan.
They had originally said no front to rear stretch, so I was shocked that they came up with that offer. They sent us a copy of the plans with the stretches drawn in and the price quoted was $2100. We are thrilled! It's not the 12 ft Lanai that I would love but we will have 2 sliders, a 6 ft and a 12 ft going out so it will be very open and we can enjoy the view when inside with that much glass. This is all coming together..... Hurrah!!
Thank you all for your input! Because we are in Utah, I am having to really use my imagination and your input to help us make some tricky decisions. This is the last house we want to build and we want to LOVE it! It seems to be shaping up nicely!!
This forum is such a great resource! Thank you all!!

Are you near Moab? Florida humidity will be quite a difference from the dryness out west. We are feeling the humidity today in Vermont after several days of monsoon like rains with our flash flood emergency beeper going off in the middle of the night.........
Humidity or not, I'm looking forward to the Florida sunshine.......which naturally would be more than what we experience.
I can just feel the "joy" you are experiencing in planning your home......
Best wishes..........and thanks for sharing....
