    Pump House With Backyard

    Initially when we first decided to build a pump house, it was supposed to be just a small storage area. The plan was that this was going to be a small temporary building to be used to store all the pipes and fittings required to develop the farm. Later, once we have planted everything and when we are closer to moving to the farm permanently, we were supposed to build a proper farm house and move to that house. At least that was the plan. But as we were designing the pump house and adding more and more stuff like bathroom and a car parking place, it felt like this may not be a temporary place after all. Of course it will not be our retirement home, but we thought may be if we make a few more design changes, may be we can make it a livable space for some temporary visits to the farm.

If you remember, I initially designed the pump house using SketchUp, but it lacked a lot of details. So I went about looking for another software that can do room planning.
