Window placement, in a new home, can be important. I have been in homes where you cannot see the driveway, the front porch, the back porch, and other directions where visitors, and other traffic might be happening during the day, and night. Sometimes the homeowner says “they wish they had a window here, or there, so they can see whats happening outside. If the doorbell sounds, they might have to run around the house to see who’s calling on them. It sounds like a trivial issue, but it’s really not trivial, because having a new window installed can be very expensive, if not impossible in certain locations.

Blueprints are expensive. So, when you begin sketching around on floor plans, using a ruler, and a pencil, draw some lines from places you plan on spending a lot of time through windows to find out what can be seen from that location inside the home.

See ya.
