Cut a Hole, Cut Costs and open up the floor plan


Earlier, I told you that I would post pictures of Victoria's transformation. We needed to open up the space between two rooms to make a living and dining room. Anytime you can improve the "flow" in a floor plan you should do it. Sometimes it can be rather expensive, but in this case the fix was simple. I always tell my buyers, "There are two things that you can almost never fix. One is the floor plan. The second is the location, everything else is doable".


Dan was able to cut the hole and save the extra 2 x 4 material for use on another project. This not only saves the investor money, but it is very earth friendly. Way to go Dan!
