Wow, that's a pretty sexy design. Are the ceilings in the MB the full high of the house or are they slanted? I couldn't figure that out from the diagram.
The roof slants down in the back, and the master has higher ceilings but not full ceilings like in the living area. Would be nice though
pretty coool... what happens if it rains and soaks all those beams... doesn't affect it long term ?
I wondered the same thing. But dunno. Doesn't ever seem to faze the builders. I'll ask my brother in law, who works at a builder in Houston.
No basements in Texas? Do you know the square footage?
TX usually doesn't have basements unless you live in tornado alley in the panhandle. There is really no need for them in North Texas, as we get the occasional tornado warnings but not a lot of touchdowns. The square footage is going to be about 3100 with the media room addition. BTW, we removed the second bath upstairs and extended the media room into that space, which gives about an extra 4 feet in length.

One of my first projects is going to be equipping and decorating it like a movie theatre. Should be fun!
SO PRETTY! How much did it cost you?
Looks like around 210k or so.
wyvrn, here's the best of luck to you my friend with your new home
Thank you, Roger. It's been a long time in coming. I feel very lucky at this moment.
Awesome! When Skoorbie and I built, we engraved our initials in the stud by the front door....
Neat idea. My wife and I will have to think of something to commemorate the occasion.
