Prologue:
I have recently decided it was time for me and my fiancé to get a house of our very own. My mother is our real estate agent. Between her oppinion, His dads oppinion adn his moms oppinion im not sure is our opinions even matter.
My oppinion: I want a 3 bedroom 3 or more bathroom house, with big updated kitchen; I want an open floor plan with alot of place hang out with family and friends.
Carl my fiancé Oppinion: wants a big garage and a big yard and as long as I like the house and there is a room for his projector room he is fine.
When I was growing up I moved alot so I would like to find a house that we can stay in and raise our children in.
My place is a
new house where
the 2 of us can start
our life happly ever after.

Love this house in the pictures looks so homey and inviting. It looks great
from the outside. One foot in the door and disappointed already. The very
small living room to the right not enough room for our sofa and TV. Not a
big enough living place for me.

Next is the living room which can hold 1 to 2 people tops and I have a big family that loves to get together and cook this is not going to work. No Italian Sunday dinners in this house. But we decide to continue up stairs even though the first floor is a disappointment. There are 3 nice size bedroom and 2 horrible bathrooms; one has a pink tub and a blue toilet horrible, the second bathroom is half redone. This is not the house maybe next week.
Is this the dream house?
The problem with the dream house is it needs a kitchen.
1) Mom loves the location.
2) I love the price very worried about the kitchen.
3) Carl likes the house and the land but is worried about the price because we have to add a kitchen.
We go home and talk numbers:
1) How much it would be to put in a kitchen?
2) How much should we offer?
3) Are we going to get it?
The price is $200,900 we decided to bid 156000 and have them pay
closing cost. So know we wait and we wait and we wait. They sent us a country
offer of 195000 with is way more then we still want to spend so we decide to
crunch numbers again. My mom realized the price was uncomfortable for Carl so
she stepped back and started helping him decide what he can handle. I can tell
she realized we were not going to get it. So we decided even with a bid in to
not give up.
We decided to take a look at modular floor plans.

We decided to take a look at modular floor plans.
From the outside it is beautiful know on to look at the floor plans.
The first floor is great. I will open up the living room and family room which I would then make a great room and move the utility room upstairs and put the half bath there. With a modular all this is possible.
The second floor is everything and more I have ever asked for. I would make bath 1 a little smaller and put in a utility room or take the 4th bedroom out make it a bath room and more the utility room in the bathroom spot. We went to talk to a modular guy with Car’ls father.
1)I love the house I designed know let’s hope it can be done.
2) Carl likes the idea of us having everything new and decisions on everything.
3) Dad loves that we will be next door and we will bond threw building a new house.
After talking o bill the modular guy I feel much better about building a house of our own and not buying something that is not perfect. After showing him our ideas he took the pictures and is going to price it out and get back to us. So know we wait but whiel we ait we can figure out how to get everyone on boarded to us moving to Galloway the lot next to his father. His mother and father who are divorced are selling. Which may sound easy but it’s not. His father is easy he has always wanted us to live there. Next is my mother who dose not want us to life far from her.
Her questions to me:
1)Do you want to live there?
2)Are you sure you want to build a house?
3)Is Galloway were you want to raise children?
My answers:
1) Yes I do. I will not let robin stand in my way.
2) I want to design everything myself and get exactly what I want.
3)Yes I went to school here it is not so bad.
Her questions for him:
1)Are you ready financially for this?
2)Are you going build me a room?
3)How big is the garage going to be?
Carl’s answers:
1)Yes it is going to be cheaper than it would be to buy a house that we need to fix and update.
2)No way but you are always welcomed.
3)40 by 26
She was completely on boarded she is excited and willing to help. We were both a little surprised. We both asked if it was too far from her and she said distance will not keep her away and 20 minutes is definitely not too far. Know we have to get his mom and sister on boarded which is his dads job because they are financially involved.
