And Lo! There was light.

Our lighting and electrical changes. All seems rather complicated. We've also swapped a couple of doors and Bedroom 4 really isn't what it used to be but hey, it's our house.

(Original orientation)

And then you have to think of it this way, not the other way...

My brain is having so much trouble accepting this orientation as all our documents show the house with the garage on the west side, when our block has our driveway on the east side.

It might seem odd that we are fussing around so much with bedroom 4. Bedroom 4 is our planned Study, so it makes sense for us that it should be entered off the living room. While it might look easier to pick Bedroom 3, the problem becomes more obvious when you orient the plans to the same direction as the built house. Bedrooms 2 & 3 both face west which means that they will get afternoon sun.
In our current house, our desks are configured to face each other (I sometimes get a cursory glance in my direction mid game this way, how romantic!) and they are both perpendicular to the window of our living room, which faces west. So each and every day we have a fight with the sun and the curtains about heat and glare onto our desks. Talk about first-world-problems.
So we saw an opportunity to fix this by using Bedroom 4 which faces east. Only problem is walking up half the house to double back into the room. We've submitted the above change and we'll see what they say. Hopefully it's all easy and we won't be making the roof fall in.
