The Floor Plans Complete
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I’ve been torn between house shopping and a house addition. I pretty much have decided on an addition (it would take a REALLY good deal on the perfect house to change my mind) so this weekend, we finished with the floor plan. I’m excited because this makes us one step closer. Now mind you, I will not be getting a bonus check until mid-June so we will not start until then when I see if and how much I’ll receive, but even if it doesn’t happen this summer and it takes a little longer (my car will soon be paid off and I plan to put at least half of that into the house each month anyways), it’s nice to know that I’ve pretty much settled on the additions. The additions will more than double the size of my existing house, and we’ve designed it in a three step process so that each step is independent of the rest, and I can avoid banks or mortgage lenders and just do what I can afford as I can afford it. This is important to me as I’m also wanting to become debt free within the next couple years. So I thought I’d share this one next step with you guys. Our next step will be going to Lowe’s or Home Depot and beginning a materials list for phase one so that we can determine how much we must spend to start the project. (cross your fingers for me that this amount and the amount of my bonus are similiar)
