Garden shed plans and storage plans save you money and time

It was 8 years ago when I noticed that I just have too much staff than I know what to do with, and I now understand that it's quite common – my children toys that were left untouched, old bicycle no one rides any more, my Christmas decorating that 10 months a year sits in my backyard with no purpose, my pool tools and gardening equipment and other staff related to my kids hobbies. I knew I need a small shed to store all of this in a place where it will be protected from the rain in the winter and the summer sun, and where I can organize it all so it wouldn't take me hours finding a saw or a wrench when I need one… I had little knowledge regarding building sheds, so I started reading everything about it, and was quite happy finding that building a storage shed using shed plans is simple and really doesn't cost much. After building my garden shed I've discovered many other useful things for it, such as playroom for my kids and their friends, my wife's office and even a place to sleep. How to select the right storage shed for you and other tips regarding utility sheds are all will be discussed in my next post.

No matter which house you'll build – storybook house, English cottage home, log cabin home or a Bungalow house – they all have something in common: they'll all require substantial funding, or in other words – mortgage.

Stock small home plans save you money and time

Probably you will build only one house in your life. I’m sure you’ll put most of your time, money and knowledge into it. Naturally, if you can reduce your costs you’ll be more than happy, and if you can do it without compromising your requirements and needs – you can really be satisfied. Buying stock home plans is a good example of it, and you’ll be quite surprise how popular it is. Many of the houses you enjoy looking at (and sometimes even jealous of their owners…) were designed using stock house plans. And you’re not the first one to wonder about that and to ask yourself why you should purchase them - That is exactly what I did a few years ago when one of my best friends suggested me buying house design. Each time I visited him (not quite often, I must say. 150 miles are separating us), I used to be amazed of his home. It looked so beautiful outside and so efficient in its space usage, I was sure he paid architect to design it (and he can sure afford it, trust me). One day, as I told him I wish I could build home like his own, he instantly replied “So go and choose one plan. There are thousands of them. Who do you think designed this house?” At first I couldn’t believe, but when he showed me the blueprints and a website with so many small house designs, I understood that you can use stock home plan to build your dream house, and it’s not just a phrase.The main advantage of getting stock home plans is that they are significantly less expensive than custom home plans. And when I say less expensive, I’m talking about thousands of dollars. Try and look for custom home plan – no architect will charge you less than 5 to 7 thousand dollars, whereas stock home plans would usually cost you no more than $700, and as I always say - small home plan means affordable home plan.Usually you’ll build one house in your life. You want to put all your knowledge, experience and much of your fortune into it. So why don’t you use the experience and knowledge of a professional home designers and architects, that have designed hundreds and thousands of houses, all in a very affordable cost? On my next post, I’ll show more advantages stock home plans have.
