    It’s a great unit. But I would have done the three windows in the front instead of side and done a longer higher window there instead. I think a side door would have better curb appeal from the street. Agree that maybe the washer dryer should go in the bathroom side with a pocket door. But owner could possibly do a bifold there to hide the ugly unit. What type of insulation is that?

    It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment Hebrews 9:27 ESV But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 ESV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 ESV Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 ESV Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:5 ESV For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8:14 ESV Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. John 3:36 ESV Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7 ESV For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins Hebrews 10:26 ESV Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14 ESV What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him 1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV
