I often say, "the plans are a good place to start". I can adapt parts of a plan and layout from a plan in the book, turning it into an original design specifically for you. The plans an be helpful as a reference for remodels and home additions. The last 25 pages contain over 300 detailed tips and specifications with usable dimensions etc.
