For many years I have been gathering house plans waiting for this day to come. Over the years, Paul hasn’t liked the house plans I have been gathering for many years 🙂
One reason Paul hasn’t liked any of the house plans is because many of those house plans have many thousands of feet 🙂 I told Paul, I like the house for the kitchen, not the square footage and we can shrink the size down. Or I like the look of that entry way, or another part of that house to add/modify the smaller square footage house.
Another reason is we don’t agree on color, wood, stone, brick…. You name it, we don’t agree on it.
After we closed on the property, I showed Paul the house I liked and thought would look nice in a rural area. This one is woodsy. Yes, woodsy 🙂 A house that would fit into a wooded area, but yet in a neighborhood. This is what Paul had to say:
Paul: “I like it. How many square feet?”
Me: “40 feet larger than what we agreed on.”
Paul: “I like it.”
The property has a gradual slop, so I chose this for the back of the house.
Paul took one look at this and his exact words were, “We are not building a house that size.”
Me: “Easy there, tiger. It’s just the look of the house, not the square footage.”
Paul: “Oh, Okay. I love it.”
Here is the floor plan that we also agree on. We talked about the few modifications we both want, and crazy enough, we agree on that as well!
The front of the property is narrow, so the the 3rd and 4th car garage will be built on the side toward the back of the property.
Next is landscaping.
Just kidding, Paul. I will go easy on the backyard as well! Love you!!!
