BIG RV fly-in!

CONGRATS, Rosie,
the building of your dream home that has got to be the most
exciting high lights in ones life. I hope to join you as a airpark
home owner some day. I started once and had plans and lot, but
at the time did not make sense and had reservations about that
particular airpark property, so I sold the lot. Although I shelved
the dream, it is not dead. I love your design and it's like I what
I designed, with a little more country wrap around porch feel.
Q: Where is the hanger, is it integral? Looks like a seperate hanger.
I had a similar custom plans of my own creation and the codes
where a pain with a integral hanger/house, mostly fire issues.
The expensive commercial solutions, fire walls, doors and
glass was the solution. The work around of some was to not
call it a hanger, but I was not comfortable with that. Obviously
its a house with a big room with a big door at an airpark, so
calling it storage or recreation room is kind of silly; although
some got away with that, to avoid the stricter commercial
codes.
Also insurance is another issue. The obvious and easy solution
is to separate the hanger and home. I guess fires are many
times from garages so insurance companies figure a hanger is
that much more risky because it is that much larger. I like the
combined hanger home designs better. They look better but got
discouraged at least in my state with code.
Could you let us live vicariously through your journey a little
and tell us any tricks, compromises or road blocks (or runway
blocks
) in you custom airpark home journey so far.
Once again I am very excited for you and your family,
BTW, Pete that is what my hanger home looks like now.
