Get a battery radio wherein emerge emergency alerts (ask your phone carrier if they translate emergency alerts that get sent to radios over to phone)(formal email, do not ask customer support)
Also don't let the carpet be a flammable one if you want your children to live
Also maybe get a community computer that can get plugged into the printer so no wifi necessary
Get rid of the corridor and change the bedrooms so that theyre more square. Making a double bed thats put like that sucks. Separate entrance and living room. Where are you eating? No entrance from garage/maintenance to rest of house internally? Put load bearing walls on long side, not short. Make a pillar-beam construction going length wise, roof construction is much easier and stable that way.
Honestly man, hire an architect. A two floor plan house wouldn't cost much to draw compared to building. You can probably ask without facade too. Idk where you live but buildings are usually regulated as shit and it will get much better. You'll be able to live in that sure but it's not really a nice or effective plan
My thoughts:
1 - Your bathrooms are the same size as your bedrooms when they don't need to be. A bathroom with a toilet, sink, and full size tub/shower can be 5' x 8'.
2 - You should have access to the utility and garage from inside the house. It would be nice to not have to go outside to get to either of them, especially in the case of inclement weather.
3 - The long walls at the front and back should be load bearing, so that the floor joists and roof rafter/trusses have a shorter span. This is fine for stability as you will have headers above the doors & windows.
4 - The hallway on the 2nd floor doesn't need to extend all the way across the house, it's using up space that could be part of the children's bedroom.
5 - Might be better to swap the living room and kitchen, as well as the direction of the stairs.
6 - You probably do not have adequate headroom over the stairs with the living room/entry area above them. I would move the stairs towards the center of the house, and have the storage/utility room accessible from inside hallway from the garage instead.
7 - The egress window in the lower level is required to be in the bedroom, not the bathroom.
8 - I assume you're not concerned with having a place to sit down and eat, since that isn't present in your plan. But if you made the house a little bit wider you could probably work that in somewhere on the kitchen end.

I disagree. This one beats the kid who insisted that he was going to build an underwater cave in a 30' diameter pond so he and his swim team buddies could have a cool place to 'hang out'. This anon put way more effort into it.
My point is that it might be fun to review candidates at the end of each month.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone i made some changes because of what you said, however some things i cant change are the children's room cant take the hallway space because it would cover a window there, eating area has always been my room or couch or outside for me and my family, i cant change there being only 1 wet wall in the house because thats to important to me, i don't want the garage / maintenance room connected to the rest of the house because i don't want a repairman making moves on my wife.
Why would you put this much effort into a drawing without scale? Get some actual CAD software (plenty of free ones) and do a proper mock-up before you ask for thoughts on your dream house sketches
It's like you purposely want the layout to be awful.
Having to walk through the middle of the living room as the entry to the house is bad.
Making your living room a long rectangle and then orienting the furniture in the short direction is bad.
You're now taking up 2 hallways worth of depth out of the 2nd floor instead of 1.
You don't need to continue the hallway to the 2nd floor bedroom all the way to the side wall, it takes up space for no reason.
There's no reason to have to line up the interior walls between floors, they are not structural. For instance, the wall that separates the kitchen and living room into 2 tiny spaces is completely unnecessary. Take it out and let it feel open.
For some reason your bathrooms, bedrooms, living room, and garage are all the same width. Either you've got some rooms drawn too wide, or you have some rooms drawn too narrow. It's impossible to tell which because there's no fricking scale. Unless you're going for some modular bullshit that makes every room the same width, but that would be moronic.
The kitchen is fricking abysmally small.
There's no place to sit down and eat aside from the couch in the living room.
There are no closets.
Get your shit together, man.
Thanks for the laughs, OP. Going to put this in Roll20 and make my Cyberpunk players fight in it. Question is, who should they fight? Street gangs? A Corporate kill team raiding the place? A cyberpsycho?

elaborate on >Put load bearing walls on long side, not short. Make a pillar-beam construction going length wise
Look up basic wood construction man.
was nice enough to even draw it for you
Its horrible
There are so many problems that I don't know where to begin.
kids - mini fridge
TV is bigger than car.
Find some real floor plans, gamerboy.
Bathroom with shower both upstairs and downstairs in such a small house?
I'd free up more space by only adding a toilet and sink.

I think there should be a monthly contest here for the worst/ most insane/ gonzofuddlest thread on PrepHole
I nominate this one.
You need to lurk more, dude. This is nothing.

How are you going to cook food?
Right? The bathrooms are bigger than the kitchen and there's no stove or counterspace. Even RVs are better about that.
Mini fridge opening the wrong way is such a beautiful touch.
