house styles

[John Dirks Jr]

I was wanting to learn about all the different types of home architecture like the name of a particular style and how the layout is. I found this link to be helpful. If anyone knows of other sources for examples please post links. Pictures with descriptions are great also.

Go to the downloads library here on TIJ. There's at least one document there that will help.

I use a simplified list...

1: Scary POS...dozer bait...run away.

2: Regular POS...OK bones and fixable with a fat wallet.

3: Most others..."normal" repairs needed.

4: The perfect house...A myth (as far as I can tell so far).
