Does anyone know where I could find a floor plan for the house used on Home Improvement?
Home Improvement House Floor Plan?

I like the show, and wouldn't mind incoporating some of the things I see in the house into my own, but being a stage house somethings are just odd.
I wanted to know if anyone took the time to actually draw out the house to see what it looked like.
I know Tim Allen has the Tool Time set in storge somewhere, wonder what happend to the house?

The only thing that really struck me as odd was the garage being at the back of the house (or at least at the reverse end from the main door).
Considering we hardly ever see the house in the whole, I doubt we can say one way or the other.
A few times we see the front door, more than a few times we see the side yard or back yard, although I'm guessing thats really the side yard.

In one of the episodes, the boys bought a pricey remote control car. Brad the oldest told Mark to open the backdoor out to the alley
So it can be assumed they live in a neighborhood with an alley for garbage trucks etc. The garbage truck crushed the pricey remote car.
That's how the cars can exit
Here's a visual example
I drew up durring the houir on Nick at Night toight what I think the hous elooks like and I have to say it is really small. I have a couple of holes though.
- What is in front of the kitchen? The living room area extends past the two islands in the kitchen causing a gap in the house where I dont know whats there.
- For a house in MI, they have no less than four exit points in their house. A ""Front Door", two side doors on the side, and a garage door. The two sides ones be double wide patio doors.
- The garage is one stall wide.
- The two garbage cans are next to the chemney, which must be a hike from the alleyway. Can't prove a distance, but there is no paved surface to pull the cans on.
I have no idea where the basement steps are, but no matter where they are, they are wrong. When they go to the basement they turn to the left to go down. No plce in the house exists where the basement would be under the house.

Found this:
It seems close, but I have some problems with it.

I recall at least two upstair bathrooms shown, i think. I imported the house into CAD rescaled it and came up with a first floor living space of 1,364 square feet, assuming new construction the Tool Man is living in a $136,400 house as built no furnishings. 1,300 isn't bad, but I'd expect a larger house for the tool man with three kids.
There is no way any house in the north would be designed with SEVEN exits to the outside.
Change the exit to the downstairs to be the first floor bathroom, but the basement entry underneeth the stairs to upstairs and you would have the beginnings of a solid house design. I can't find any samples of the upstairs, maybe there isn't enough information to assemble it.
I do seem to recall from the finale though that the house is a fairly large house from the outside.
If your in Michigan you are looking for every possible exit point you can find.
The floor plan shown doesn't seem even close to me. The orientation is wrong, stairway is screwy.... but that is from memory as i haven't watched the show recently.
Yeah, I have a number of issues with the basic design, but it seems close enough. What I think is going on is that the house is more of a rectangle than shown in that image.
