LOVE your house and lot but you are going to hate those trees after a while with the pool LOL
So for this pool house.............do you want it all the way open on all side? Do you want a bathroom in it? Do you want a bar? How about a wall on the side away from the pool to put a fire place and mount a TV on?
When will they be doing the retaining wall to help hold all that dirt up? I would be SO worried about a big rain washing it out.
Our house sits in the middle of 10 acres, mostly heavily wooded except the pasture in the back. We have taken down lots of trees and probably many more need to go. I would love not to have a cover but it may be a necessity.
They showed up this morning to get the footings in place for the walls. But we are only into week 33 or so into our 12 week build
I do like the concrete contractor and I think they will now get that taken care of. As for rain, we had a torrential rain that lasted a week after they dug out and formed for the walls. So, I will be glad when they get things stabilized. He says they may try to pour the footings tomorrow. Will see.
The pool house will face south towards the pool. Plans for now are open front, closed back with a bathroom and storage, and the right facing wall will be closed in for TV, maybe a fireplace, and to hide the pump equip on that side. Some sort of kitchen bar with sink, 2 burner stove, refrig. No access to the basement from the main level but the basement will have some windows, a garage door and a walk in door.
Floorplan attached is an idea of what we may do. Probably reverse the floorplan with lanai on right facing side, make bathroom smaller (just a toilet, sink and changing bench), Possibly add counter space for kitchen area in between the bathroom and storage, enclose the right hand side, and the footprint will be a little larger at 20d x 24w.
