Home Design Idea

Article by stevo kitchpatkn

The benefits of using home design software can be unbelievable. Whether you have experience with home-building design or not, home design software can give you a pretty clear picture of what the new house is actually going to look like and this is wonderful.

1. Make sure that you understand how the software works. Take some time to read the instructions and practice using the software until you become comfortable with all of the tools and other options that are available in the program.

2. Get a couple of books on house design, to make sure that you are designing everything so that it will function and flow properly in the new house. In other words, don’t make your hallways to big and your bedrooms too small.

3. Don’t design a house with engineering problems. Your home could look marvelous on your computer, but have engineering problems. Don’t get too excited, before you actually try to figure out if the home can be built.

4. Once you have a pretty good design, you’re going to need to make sure that all of the electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning systems will actually work and function well with the home design.

5. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to understand how homes are actually constructed, before you design one. I can’t tell you how many architects I have worked with, who don’t understand how homes are actually built.

If you have the house design software, design a couple of different buildings, before approaching an architect or engineer. A good engineer or architect and even a good general contractor can look at a home design and point out potential problems with it. Have fun with your home design software.

Designing a new bathroom takes a lot of thought.

Hassie was the name of my mother. She has passed away on October 13rd, 2008.

She had a full rich life. Birthing three children of which I am the middle one, sandwiched between two brothers. She never learned to drive a car but traveled from ocean to ocean on railway tracks until the trains stopped going where she wanted to go.

She loved people and they loved her in return. Laughter was her medicine for everything. If she fell down, she would laugh before anyone else could. She saw lots of bright lights and sunny days in her world.

Early Spring Water Cress and Cornbread was one of Mothers’ favorite meals.

1-2 pounds of the cresses, as she called them
a 6×6 inch piece of fat back or half a pound of bacon
2-3 T of vinegar

Slice the fat back into thin slices

place them in a hot iron skillet

fry them until brickle

Wash and pat dry your water cress and put it in a heat resistance bowl.

Pour the hot grease from the fatback over the greens then add the brickle meat pieces. Finally drizzle the vinegar over the mixture and toss until the greens are coated.

Southern Cornbread w/ Onions

2 cups of self-rising cornmeal mix
1/2 cup of self-rising flour
1 cup of milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 slices of bacon, cut in half
1/2 cup onions, chopped.

Mix cornmeal, flour, milk, eggs and vegetable oil together in a medium bowl until batter is almost cake like but do not beat it to much, you want some lumps in the batter.

In an iron skillet, lay in the bacon slices then sprinkle the onions on top. Pour the batter over the bacon and onions then place it in a preheated 375 degree oven. Bake until golden brown on top, about 30-35 minutes. Take it out of the oven and using a spoon, spread butter over the top. It will melt and make this good corn bread into a great cornbread. Yummy for your tummy!

I hope you will give this country food a try. Oh, yes, don’t forget the big glass of cold milk, the meal would not be the same without it.

To her, this meal brought back memories of her childhood in Scott County Virginia, recalling times when all her family was around her. Mother traveled through out her adult life but in her last days, she remembered her childhood and family, most of all.
