Start your plan by just drawing a box. Then build a blank second floor and use this second floor for your main floor. Thus your first floor pln becomes the basement plan.
Usually the second floor.
are there any grants available to purchase a van for a handicapped idividual on a fixed income
If you are adding a second story addition to your home, you should contact a general contractor. Many times, additional support and reinforcement may need to be added to maintain the integrity of the first floor level.
Usually not. Check with the home's manufacturer or a good structural engineer/architect.
Normally when a basement is poured, there are no provisions for putting a roof on top of it. Structurally, it isn't a problem to build a basement larger than the main floor. But if you don't build on top of it, you have a major issue to deal with. You will need to determine how you will keep ground water, critters, dirt, etc from entering the basement from the uncovered side and coming into your home. If you properly seal the top of the uncovered side of the basement, I don't think you will have any problems.
I would say go to home depot, and find an experienced employee. Continue to then ask them all questions you have about adding a second floor to your deck.

My childhood home was in a floodplain. My first suggestion is not to build there. Second, put the home on stilts: raise it above flood level.
