Now that I almost have all the pieces purchased I began constructing the floors. I realized that the length of the structure will cause the middle to bend so I went back to the LDD file and began reworking the floors. I also made additional modifications to the file since several pieces didn't exist in the color yet. I mainly got rid of Medium Dark Flesh because I discovered how rare and expensive it is to do one of the rooms. I changed the panel to tan in the game room. I also went back to the sand green in the garage and fixed some of the rare pieces to accommodate more accessible pieces. I also made the sand green round pillars different to fix the hard to find issue. 

I need help building instructions since I have a Mac and Blueprint isn't working on it yet.

New features in the LDD file, each floor is grouped so you can hide or delete each floor to make the instructions work better. I had many people ask me over the last few months why the instructions were not provided. I simply cannot do it yet. 

I cannot figure out how to attach links to images anymore.I will solve this. Click on the link to see images and new LDD file.

Don't worry my dude I have a program that should make it easier to make instructions and I will go ahead and give it a whirl! Quick question tho where is this new LDD download link on the bricksafe.

EDIT:

NEW LDD file on Nov 22
 

Firehouse Updated LDD File on 11/22/2016

The Updated LDD file now has been renamed. I tried to test it in rebrickable and replace pieces that don't exist. Some need to just be renamed since the pieces do exist in brown, pearl gold, etc. Some of the names don't convert well. 

New File specifications:
Parts: 12,437

The baseplates are being cut. I am cutting 2 48x48 plates down instead of using 3 32x32 baseplates

1. Take two Classic LEGO brand square 48x48 baseplates and cut them into 48x32 baseplates.
2. Take one of the scrap 32x16 and cut it in half to create 24x16 baseplates
3. Take the second scrap baseplate and created a 32x16 and a 16x16 baseplate out of it
4. Now take the new 32x16 baseplate and cut a 6x8 notch out of it
5. You can keep the 16x16, 6x8, and one of the 24x16 baseplates for future projects because those are not used for this project
6. Sand down all the sides that were cut so you don't have and sharp edges
7. Round off the corners to match the other rounded corners with sandpaper. 
8. Wash the baseplates so there isn't any dust on them
9. let dry and begin building.
