My husband and I have been looking to build your same house plan in Tennessee. Did you find it to be accurate to the plan? The picture in the magazine seems to differ from yours from the outside. Maybe different size windows? Did you make any changes? Cant put finger on it. Maybe you can help. Thank You, Karla Mason

my husband and I are going to build your same house. Were the plans accurate. The featured magazine picture differs from your house picture is that because you made some adjustments to the outside of your house?
