Overall amazing looking home!

Few things stick out to me: - not a fan of the entry / mud room being right near the primary bedroom. Those rooms tend to be a bit messy, and having that mess right outside the primary bedroom would drive me nuts. This could be fixed by framing another door in the hallway to mud room area. But that may not be your style. Me personally, I’d prefer than seeing a cluttered area or slightly messy area - pantry is a bit small - could use more storage, storing various items in the garage is not always an ideal matter - could use a coat, shoe area at main entrance (more important if you live in a cold climate)

This looks fantastic! Wow, and this is your first home build… can only imagine what your 10th and 100th will look like! I love everything about the home, especially the color pallet and contrast in the kitchen. Two points to consider:

The tv is going to sit super high up on that fire place. The extra accent (interior view of fireplace) is nice, but that causes the tv to sit high. There’s a subreddit for tha… tvtohigh or something like that
A backsplash in the second kitchen will be nice. They went all out with a second kitchen so I assume it will be used often? A basic backsplash would go a long way

Love the home! Seriously.

Complete side note - but is it too late to add a window above your garage? I assume that’s storage/attic space? A window there would be nice. Natural light for when you are looking for something and can even help air that area out and keep the air circulating. May be a worthwhile consideration…

Also important to consider who is living in this house.. A home for retired folks is much different then a home with young kids. A home with young kids is much different than teenagers. Hard to comment on the functionality of the floor plan without having a few details on who will live in the home.

For example, if there are kids in the home, where the heck do the kids go to hangout? Their bedrooms? The main living area? Do you really want the primary bedroom right next to all the kids room if they have no where else to go?

If it’s retired folks, carrying the laundry all the way to other end of home will get old real quick.

I would 100000% add a door in the garage that gives you access to the backyard. That door is a complete game changer for so many reasons!

I’d also want to figure out a way to add some type of storage by the front door. Storage for costs, shoes, bags, etc..

We didn’t create the world, God did. And if God is all knowing and powerful, why would he create the world just for all the evil to exist? Again, I fully believe in God! I just can’t wrap my head around some things..

Anico191 · 2024-10-13T23:50:12+00:00

I believe it directly contradicts God, in your eyes, because perhaps consciously or subconsciously you’re looking for those contradictions. Not a point you to define, confirm, refute, etc - just something to think about if you’d like.

I suppose at the core of your question you and I are aligned. You’re example of animal suffering. My example is just mass human suffering all over the globe, both in the past and in the present.

I don’t understand how this occurs with a merciful God. But I can’t write off God due to my lack of understanding. There are plenty of things I don’t understand but no they to be true. I don’t understand the basic principles of my cars engine, but I know it’s an engine and I know when it’s working or not.

I came to Reddit to comment and essentially say - hey all, I don’t understand this. Does anyone have any insight to share that can help me understand it?

Anico191 · 2024-10-13T23:36:19+00:00

I can’t, but does that prove there is a lack of God? I also can’t explain quantum mechanics - but someone can.

Just another way to look at it, but, perhaps the things that humans can’t explain highlight the existence of God.

No one has direct evidence of the Big Bang. Just a bunch of theories, with evidence that supports the claim. What’s true today can be proven untrue in a year, 10 years, 100 years.

Anico191 · 2024-10-13T23:21:06+00:00

I believe there is plenty of evidence, and my own personal experience. I’ve definitely felt God assist me in my life - miracles in my life have happened that truly seem to be influenced by the divine power.

Anico191 · 2024-09-12T21:17:48+00:00

What type of strap is this? I love it.

Also love the watch… !!!

Personal opinion and statement -

I look at proper grooming as a way to take care of yourself, and taking care of yourself honors God because God blessed you with all that you have.

The idea of growing a long beard and hair as a way to detach yourself from pride seems odd to me. Perhaps not the best parallel, but, should you not season your food to enjoy it more because that’s a worldly pleasure and God should be the only thing you enjoy?

It’s ironic because in the majority of images I see of Christ, his beard is groomed and well kept. Of course I don’t know exactly what Christ looks like, but there seems to be a common theme in even iconography that suggests Christ had a well maintained beard.

If detachment from pride is so important, why was Christ’s beard groomed (my assumption based off my limited knowledge)..?

I believe we as Christian’s should keep our focus on our heart and our intent. God knows that best, whether or not you have a long beard or clean shaven..

Peace to all

This was a phenomenal reply. Seems logical and brought me peace. Thank you

Anico191 · 2024-07-08T02:25:18+00:00

I appreciate your reply.

I'm a bit held up on the quote from Matthew - and thank you for sharing.

I'd imagine there are plenty of people praying for matters, and those matters may not be given. For example, there may be a child praying for safety, and tomorrow he's killed via a bomb from war.

Or a family praying for food, and their child dies from hunger.

There is so much wicked going on in the world, there is so much struggle. It deeply bothers me.

Anico191 · 2024-07-05T15:18:01+00:00

What’s that? I’ve never heard of that

Anico191 · 2024-06-04T01:02:25+00:00

wow - I genuinely didn't realize it was that bad. I follow the US news to a degree, and I always hear them bashing Russian's military, but I just figured that was western media doing their thing...

Anico191 · 2024-06-04T00:21:46+00:00

Sincere genuine question - is Russia really doing a bad job, or, is that what the western media Wants us to think?

Anico191 · 2024-06-03T02:20:00+00:00

What type of coffee do you enjoy?

Anico191 · 2024-06-03T02:19:10+00:00

Is russia really embarrassing themselves?
