Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Pond addition house

My in laws are not doing so well. Mother in law has had back surgery and cant even stand up str8. Father in law has had more bones brock than I knew we had. I had a terrible car accident 20 some years ago. So they are at the point of nursing home or live next to us. No of us want the nursing home idea at all. So we will be building them a home next to ours. He loves to fish when his body let's him. I will be putting the backdoor on this house within maybe 30 of our pond (he will flipping love it). I will post pictures of how all this goes. They still have to sell there place in town. Called local contractor that we use. We are looking at maybe Nov-Dec. Hope this all goes well. I will post some picture as things progress. Me and family will be doing alot of the work. I took a picture off google maps still old picture. The pond is bigger now. I tried to draw it but it sucks on my phone. Box is where we r thinkin.

I'm with Gehajake, I would have the carport and mud room on the same side as the kitchen. If I was you I'd get on some home builders websites and look at floor plans to get ideas, and then modify them to your taste.

I haven't been on here in quite a while. We we t ahead and built a house for my in laws next to the pond. It's prilly only 20 feet from their front door. If I remember how to post pictures I will bit it's been awhile. Hope everyone is doing well.

Rusto!

Congrats on getting the new house completed.




My youngest daughter (that came over and played frisbee with your dog) just graduated from high school.

I hope you and your family are doing well! I also hope your kids enjoy have resident grandparents on site.

Got the house done. 5 months to the day we got them moved in he passed away. He got to enjoy the view 20 feet outside this living room window for a little bit at least. He was so excited one day when he called. A big ol herring got fish right in front of him. Said it was one of the coolest thing he's ever seen. That did my heart good.

Instead of screenshot, you might try using the windows, built in, Snipping tool. Save it as a file and then attach it. You can also embed it if you hover over the attachment (in attachment manager) then click on it. That seems to work well for me to reduce the size and keep good quality.

Sorry for your loss, that is a fantastic story. He was blessed to have family like you.
