The Timberline  - 2239 Sq.Ft.

The Timberline has two distinctly different architectural styles in one home plan. The front elevation has three gables with eyebrows and large overhangs plus the tudor hipped side gables giving this home a more traditional design. The rear elevation with its two story gable wall of glass and large exterior deck makes this elevation a vacation home design. The great room's cathedral ceiling, stone fireplace, and open stairs leading up to a loft, make this room the homes centerpiece. The large kitchen and dining room are just off the great room, perfect for entertaining. The master bedroom suite has a walk-in closet and private bath and the laundry area is on the first floor for convenience.

Custom Design is Not a Four Letter Word

Ok, We know it's obvious that it's not a four letter word but many people see dollar signs when they hear custom design. Whether you are going Modular, Panelized, Log or Post & Beam all of the companies offer custom design at a very low cost. It's a fraction what it would cost to hire an architect. We have created a webpage that shows some examples of custom designs done by some of the different suppliers. Take a look at www.jenranhomes.com/custom.html to see what is possible. Remember, we offer standard plans as a convenience not as a requirement.

Homebuilding Tips
Attached, Detached or Under?
Many people put a good deal of though into the living space of their new home but how much though is put into the garage? How does your lifestyle effect your garage design? If you want to stay dry while bringing in the groceries or be able to take a quick trip to get a screwdriver then an attached garage suits your needs.  If you like to keep the noise of the car and garage door opener from the house then you probably would prefer a detached garage. If your lot permits, you can save some money and put your garage underneath your home, but be careful in designing the living space above so you don't hear the noise from the garage below. When it comes to cost savings, with an attached garage you save on concrete and material because of the shared walls but gain some expense in adding firecode drywall and doors. A detached garage does not need to be insulated or sheetrocked so a cost savings can be realized there as well. We can help you design your home to fit your lifestyle and land. Give us a call to get your design started now.

GOING SOLAR, Introduction to Solar Water Heating:

Because of their low cost and high power density, mid-temperature Solar Water Heaters have always been the first thing to do when "going solar" but their great weight made the installation very difficult and expensive.
The Revolutionary Lightweight, Attractive Design of the "Skyline" Solar Water Heater changes that paradigm and makes solar water heating truly practical for everyone. The Federal 30% Tax Credit and Fast Rising Fuel Costs Make Now The Time to Install a Solar Water Heating System!
Solar (domestic) water heaters are a cost-effective way to generate hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate, and the fuel they use, sunshine, is free!
On average, water heaters use as much energy as a medium-sized car uses in a year. Each installed solar water heater is like increasing the fuel mileage on the family car by over 60%.
