BUILDING A HOUSE, HOME, MOYER NEW BUILD

Multi Level Floor Plan | New Build

April 8, 2021

I’m looking forward to sharing the process of building a house with you all! Since we finalized the main level floor plan, I wanted to share the process of how we got to the finalized floor plan! If we do change something, it’ll be super minor…. at least I hope so!

Like I had mentioned in my previous blog post 10 Changes For The New Build, we decided to do a multi level floor plan again which is like a modern split level floor plan. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree and compromise with your spouse. I wanted a second story, and he wanted a ranch so multi level floor plan it is! 😉

We decided to go off of our previous multi level house plan. Below is the main level floor plan of our previous home:

multi level floor plan - new construction - new build - building a house - building a home - iowa house - split level floor plan - modern house plan

The size of our previous house was perfect for our family, but we had a list of items we wanted to change which I listed in 10 Changes For The New Build. I decided to go on Photoshop to create a floor plan. I sure wish I still had AutoCAD. If you didn’t know I went to school for interior design and AutoCAD was what I used throughout college and when I was a commercial interior designer for 3 years after college. My Photoshop sketch wasn’t very accurate because I don’t know how to figure out dimensions on there so I did a lot of eye balling. I’m such a professional…lol. I might as well just drew it on paper! 😉

The image below is what I sent our draftsman Tony from ELEVATION DRAFTING COMPANY of the multi level main level “sketch” of what we would like:

multi level floor plan - new construction - new build - building a house - building a home - iowa house - split level floor plan - modern house plan

He sent a drawing back and let’s just say my “eyeballing” was a bit off (even though it looked pretty legit on the computer..haha). He put everything I had in my sketch, but the floor plan sq. footage of this modern house was larger than what we wanted the house to be. I then drew this layout revision for him to work on.

multi level floor plan - new construction - new build - building a house - building a home - iowa house - split level floor plan - modern house plan

There were a few minor revisions before we got to the final main level floor plan which is shown below! It’s still a multi level floor plan concept like our previous house but as you can tell, it’s also totally different from what we lived in before!

multi level floor plan - new construction - new build - building a house - building a home - iowa house - split level floor plan - modern house plan

The finished basement will include 3 bedrooms, a wet bar, and a family room. I’m super excited for the new build because after living in our previous house for 2 years, we know what worked and what could be improved. This modern house will be unique and it’s what will work for our family!

Now that we have our new build floor plan finalized, it’s time to get some bids!

Entering my weighted vest era! Comment VEST, and I’ll message you the link to this specific one that’s currently on sale! Wear walking or running either outside or on the treadmill!  A suggestion is wearing a vest around 5-10% of your body weight.

*Comment below if this is helpful because I can do more to save you time and energy figuring out what to order & make for dinner.

This fed 5 of us and is always a huge hit! Most of us had 2 each. I think Hendrix (my teenager) might have had 3 sandwiches. You can make 12 sandwiches with all of the items ordered but most Canadian bacon packages only come with 9-10 slices. Make all 12 and store any extra in the fridge to have for breakfast the next few days. Just heat up and enjoy!

House Diaries #1: 
Starting a series because why not? 😉 That one time we had a tv that came down from the ceiling because I didn’t want it on the fireplace!  I had such a modern style back then compared to what my style is now. The concept was to hide the tv when we weren’t watching on it since it was on a mechanism that moved it up into the ceiling.  Well, 90% of the time it was down because I didn’t feel like grabbing the remote, push the button, and wait 10 seconds for the tv to go up. I do wish we would’ve gotten a bigger tv.  This was a 55” and I think a 65” would’ve been better!

It was Faith Statement Night for my 8th grader, Hendrix! ✝️ Loved listening to him talk about his growing faith through the years and how he’ll continue his relationship with God.
