construction, waterproofing/drainage, and anything else that matters.
Thanks.

I kind of like the ones in Country Living magazine, although HOME magazine has
had some nice ones too. I prefer about 3000 sq ft, but those come at a price.
An open floor plan is particularly nice for the dogs, plenty of playing room.
Zoned heating and AC would be essential in the future - too hard for me to do
right now.

Needless to say, hard surface flooring is ideal. And plenty of windows.

HTH!

Well, that's a given, along with heat and A/C! I like Victorians/Farmhouses as
well, although they don't lend themselves to open plans. I think a nice FLW
house would be lovely!
