So Castle Fang is a 2 story dutch colonial currently 3 bedrooms, we will make it 5 so that everyone in the family has a space of their own.  

We plan to add a mudroom in this portion of the house.  

D brought three kids to the party, and of course I have the 3 cats.  Castle Fang is a reference to the dog we shall acquire once we move in.  He/She will be named Fang.  He will have to grow up with his own kittens who will be Spleen and Eleanor.  Yes, we have the pets named.  These details are important.

The front porch will be part sun room and part butlers pantry once we get the zoning details worked out.  Butlers pantry will be part of the land a plane in it eat in kitchen that we have planned.
