Welcome to my page.

The cost of my house will not be as expensive as a ranch because the ranch has more foundation and roofing. Foundation and roofing is what cost the most to build a house. My house is big but has a small amount of foundation and roofing. Look at fig 1. A disadvantage for a 2 story is you are going to spend more money by filling rooms than you would with a ranch. One way around that is to not be expensive things to put in rooms.

My house will have a costly maintenance because it us vary tall. Look at fig 2. A ranch would be easier and cheaper to paint every year then a 2 story. The disadvantage is the 2 story is tall and will be hard to paint. One way to get around that is to get vinyl siding so you won’t ever have to paint your house.

Accessibility for disabilities in a 2 story is a really big disadvantage. There are a lot of stairs in a 2 story house. In a ranch there are no stairs so Accessibility for disabilities are easy. One way to get around this is to get an elevator installed. Look at fig 3.

Heating and cooling in a 2 story house is simple and comparatively economical. Heat from the first floor will rises to the second floor. Cooling is facilitated due to low ceilings. Ventilation is easy. A ranch also has good heating and cooling. Look at fig 4.

__**General pros or cons-**__ One pro is that the 2 story house does not take up much space in a lot. Another pro is the 2 story house is economical to build. One con is 2 story houses are not at popular as they were in former years. Another con is the 2 story doesn’t lend itself to variations while other styles can. look at Fig 5.

There are 3 thing that come to mind when building a kitchen. Safety, Access, and Convenience. These are major parts to a good kitchen.

Its important to think about safety while creating a kitchen. Its important to have the sink near the stove and oven because it will be easier to clean up. Its important to have counter space by the sink because there will be room by the sink. Its important to have big enough counter tops because there needs to be room in the kitchen. Its important to have 24” of space between the stove and the hood because there needs to be room for cooking. Its important to have a hood over the stove because there can’t be all kinds of smoke while someone is cooking. Its important to have nothing flammable near the stove because no one wants to have a fire in there kitchen. Its important to have at least 158” counter top space because there needs to be counter top room in the kitchen. Its important to have rounded counter top edges because no one will cut them selves on it. Its important to have good lighting in the kitchen because people need to be able to see. You can see examples of all the safety standards in fig 1.

Its also important to think about access while creating your kitchen. Its important to have at least a 32” doorway/entry because people need room to get in and out of the kitchen. Its important to have room in front of any doors for them to open because they need to be able to open. Its important to separate work centers by no more than 26’ because people shouldn’t need to walk far to get to work centers. Its important to have an area for people to walk with out going through the work triangle because the cooks shouldn’t be bothered. Its important to have at least 42” for a work aisle because people need room to get by. Its important to have a walkway at least 36” so people can walk through. Its important to have at least 32” behind seating because people will need to get in and out on the seats. Its important to have 30” of knee space at all seats because people need room for their knees. Its important to have the dishwasher at least within 36” of the sink because it needs to be close to the sink. Its important to have at least 15” of space in front of the fridge because the door needs to be opened. Its important to have an open space around you cooking area because there needs to be room to cook. Its important to have the microwave no more then 54” tall because everyone on the house needs to be able to reach it. There needs to be 15” of area in front of the door because it needs to be able to open. There needs to be 15” of area on front of the oven door because the door needs to be able to open. You can see examples of all the access standards in fig 1-5.

The last thing to think of while creating a kitchen is convenience. Its important to have waste receptacles near the sink and cleanup area because stuff will be put in the trash. Its also important to have at least 3” on one side of the sink and and least 18” on the other because toy need room to use the sink. Its important to have at least 1400” of storage because there needs to be room to store food. Its also important to have at least 400” of storage at the cleanup/prep sink because stuff will need to be sorted.
