    @BuildnShare, just one question.Challenge#18 is a self contained annex. I understand it to be build separately from a main building but on the same property. Are we allowed to build it on the same lot as "Best laid plants part one" or must it be on a lot on its own? :)

    Have this question, too. Not really understanding the language. Is it a home? I'm in the middle of my build. I didnt do best laid plans so this is a bit scary. Am I supposed to build the original home of best laid plans and then the extra annex? And is the budget for both homes?

    I created a new single story living home, however I have just re read the challenge and am now unsure, @Zita1966z has built a complete home,
    and the budget is high, so I think its a whole home!
    You need to provide a wheelchair friendly home, so this needs to be another fully functioning residence, with 2 bedrooms (one of which must have an attached bathroom), a separate bathroom, kitchen, dining space and living area.
    You can choose any lot in Willow Creek to build on.
    Kathleen and Kelvin are elderly, so the décor should match accordingly.
    Your total cost for this portion of the challenge is $154,000, including the lot cost.

    Hi guys, apologies for the confusion, I don't think I explained this very well. This is a challenge that we first did for TS3, on a 60x60 lot. This left lots of room for an annex style home to be built on the same lot as the original home. With the 50x50 lot size restriction, I didn't think it would be fair to expect you guys to be able to it all on the same lot, so I want a starter home, on a second lot, for Kathleen and Kelvin, I know the budget is high, but hey, Kaye thinks the world of her in-laws and wants to them to have every comfort available...

    Lovely house @Zita1966, the wheelchair is a nice touch. Love it <3
    Nice house @TwtyBrd0707, I have the exact same idea for the wheelchair ramp. Well done :)
  • kezflakekezflake Posts: 124 Member
    @Zita1966 you have lovely landscaping in your lot @Twtybird0707 very nice especially like the kitchen. I'm the same @Issabella14 and I keep removing and adding a foundation as I can't decide if to have one or not.
  • Issabella14Issabella14 Posts: 1,656 Member
    @kezflake, I know how you feel. Unsure of the build I have done, so I am going to leave it for a while and then try again. I don't know why I am struggling with this build. :(

    Thanks @kezflake and @Issabella14

    @TwtyBrd0707 I can't get in to see your slideshow. It wants me to sign in and I don't have a wordpress account.
  • TwtyBrd0707TwtyBrd0707 Posts: 102 Member
    I really like your house @Zita1966z especially how you made the wheelchair and garage. I never though about making a garage door like that.
  • TwtyBrd0707TwtyBrd0707 Posts: 102 Member
    @gmcrozier Any suggestions on how to make it so others can access the slideshow?
  • TwtyBrd0707TwtyBrd0707 Posts: 102 Member
    I'm making an imgur account to try to put the slideshow on there.

    @Zita1966z it sometimes takes awhile to get the results, depending on how many entries and how much RL gets in the way.

    @TwtyBrd0707 thank you. :)
  • gmcroziergmcrozier Posts: 1,078 Member
    @TwtyBrd0707 your house looks very nice, but you may want to take more pics. The judges like to see two or three pics of each room. The build is judged primarily on your photos.

    This challenge seems so fun with such a awesome budget! I hope I will have enough time to whip something up when I get back to the England! While I'm loving being back in California to help my momma after surgery I sure miss my sims and building lol

    @TwtyBrd0707 thank you. :)

    @gmcrozier Thank you I did figure that much, the reason I was asking is because the title in the index confused me some what "BUILD-N-SHARE CHALLENGE #17 **DUE 05/13** BEST LAID PLANS PART II" Should't it read "BUILD-N-SHARE CHALLENGE #18 **DUE 05/13** BEST LAID PLANS PART II" Thats why I asked becasue I though I might have misunderstood that this is still part of a 17th challenge somehow..lol.. Thanks anyway :)

    ENTRY DETAILS: 2 bed, 2 bath house with patio out the back and a fishing hole at the side for Kelvin so he doesn't have to go too far to get his angling fix. I tried to make it wheelchair friendly by leaving lots of space between furniture and putting ramps and railings where necessary but not making that the main focus of the house because Kathleen doesn't like a big fuss.

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes, please
