The plan

The original house is about 15oo sq feet and the new plan is to add about 300feet with a master suite where a current covered porch sits . We are also adding about 300 feet to the front of the house and extending a living room to make it about 2x its current size. Don't be confused- the lay outs are turned on the plan. The front of the house is to the left of first scan directly below the post. The orig layout is the bottom scan and the front of the house sits on the bottom of the the plan. we are completely opening up the kitchen to both living areas and adding a laundry. we have raised the ceilings in the whole house. some of ceilings in the house were barely 7.5 feet. we were able to raise the ceilings in the living areas quite a bit- it wont even look like the same house. This is a complete Gut. You name it, we are replacing it. we have a budget of $85k. That includes new appliances, which were able to get at atleast half price because a local appliance store was going out of business -$2500 total.
