THIS HOUSE ALMOST GOT BUILT.  I HAD SEEN A “FOR SALE” SIGN ON AN EMPTY LOT NEAR OUR PLACE.  AFTER MANY DIFFERENT APPROACHES, I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THIS 2,000 SF, TWO STORY HOUSE.  IT HAS A SINGLE LIVING SPACE ON THE TOP (ARRIVAL) FLOOR AND THREE BEDROOMS AND AN INDEPENDANT IN-LAWS APARTMENT ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR (WHICH I PLANNED TO RENT OFF TO HELP PAY THE MORTGAGE).  IT IS SITUATED ON A SOUTH FACING LOT IN A NICE WOODED NEIGHBORHOOD OF BALTIMORE.  AS WITH MANY OF MY PROJECTS, BATHROOMS, CLOSETS AND UTILITY ROOMS ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTH FACE TO BUFFER THE COLD TEMPERATURES DURING WINTER.
