If you like the idea of having a saltbox shed in your backyard you are defiantly going to need a set of saltbox shed blueprints. A saltbox shed is a unique looking structure that has been in use in New England since before the turn of the century and can add old world style and functionality to the back yard of your outdoor living space.  Its unique roof design will allow you to have increased storage but only have to use a small footprint.  The front of the building will actually be two stories high and will slope back to a single story at the back; hence the need for a set of saltbox shed blueprints.

The roof has a unique shape which is short and steeply angled at the front and long and gradually sloping in the back. Building it will require you to make some unusual and complicated cuts that will be quite difficult to figure out on your own.  You will need to get your hands on a good set of saltbox shed blueprints in order to perform these cuts accurately and efficiently.  You must remember, the number one thing that will add extra cost to your new shed project is improper measuring and cutting which will result in unnecessary material waste.

A good set of detailed plans will also save you several trips to the building supply house because they usually come with a complete material list.  There is no way around it, this type of shed design will need to be built following a detailed set of drawings or you could end up with an unsound and un-sightly storage shed that will have the neighbors and maybe even your wife complaining to your local planning commission.

Saltbox sheds get their name from turn of the century New England colonial construction and can add character, charm and functionality to your backyard.  Having the elevated storage area will allow you to build you new shed in a smaller space but at the same time increasing the overall square footage and useable storage area.

These sheds can be used for storing lawn tractors, garden equipment, snow mobiles, personal watercraft and other large equipment as you can install double doors in the front while still keeping a keen sense of architecture.  This is a unique design and may be a challenge to build but is within the talents of any do it yourselfer as long as you have a good set of saltbox shed blueprints to work from.

As an architect, of course I have strong feelings about elements that should never be left out of any home building project. For example, I believe that no home should be built without bathtubs.

I know, bathtubs sounds like a strange thing to be so concerned about, but it is true. I always advise my clients, regardless of their age or the kind of home they are building, to not even consider building a home without bathtubs. When they ask me why I can usually give a pretty strong defense of bathtubs.

Bathtubs do something for a bathroom and for a home that ordinary showers without bathtubs cannot do. Bathtubs give the people of a home the ability to have a quiet place of refuge to relax and unwind at the end of a hard day or week. Think about how great it feels to take a hot shower at the end of a long and cold day. Now think about how much nicer it would be to soak in a hot bathtub for thirty minutes instead. Sounds nice right?

I'm convinced about bathtubs in every home because I am convinced that we are far too busy and far too stressed out as a society. I am convinced that we could all, men, women and children alike, use a little bit of space and quiet away from the rest of the world.

I'll admit that I hadn't utilized the pleasures of bathtubs until just a few years ago when my family and I moved into a new house and my wife insisted upon bathtubs in every room of the house for our kids. I agreed during the building process and within weeks after moving in I was trying out the bathtubs for myself and realizing how truly amazing they were. In all my years of living I had yet to find something as relaxing and truly peaceful as spending time in water filled bathtubs.

So if you are thinking about building a home or just of buying an already built home, do so with caution. Do not let yourself buy or build a home without bathtubs. You have no idea what you're missing if you don't have them. I guarentee you, bathtubs are a necessary element for every house. They add a special space for people to get away, relax and unwind. So don't even think about owning a home without one or more bathtubs.
