Blueprints and how the Floor Plan was decided on

This is backing up a bit but I was talking with a friend who wanted to know where I found the blueprint for the house. It wasn't easy. You'd think with all the access on the interenet that finding a floor plan you could use and enjoy would be easy. I found endless isles of partial plans and places that wanted you to pay for plans . Finally I stumbled upon Menards websight. I knew what I wanted the minute I saw it. Mind you , If you went and looked at the picture of the house on thier sight, it wouldn't look much like my house will when finished. But, the floor plan was just what i wanted and it had the long covered front porch too. The biggest change I made was the exterior. Menards shows thiers with plain siding. I opted for a frame house with Half Log siding. I also more or less spun the floor plan around because we wanted certain views from certain rooms. Anyhow I'm rambling, but, my point I guess was that with patience and persistance , you can find free plans just by looking on the internet. It worked for me :)
