EDIT: Plans Changed...

So we just got back from our "House Finding Trip"

My wife and I thought we had found the perfect house but as we drove by it, our dream house looked like a DUMP. I guess the pictures were from when it was new or something.

We decided that a house from 1986 was simply too old, the roof and stuff were going to need work and we simply could not be bothered.

I have built both of my cars outside in a driveway, It's time for a garage.. So I got one.. 12 Foot ceilings and a wide Double and easily an extra 9 feet from the front of the cars to the wall. I'm so happy. The wife has never had a good kitchen, so that was something we were looking for as well. The house was built in January and in a new development. I think the owner worked for the builder because compared to the original floor plan, this house is totally custom. The walls are all moved, the fireplace is built with a mantle, and most of the ceilings in the house are 9 to 11 feet high, most of the walls in the living room are pillars; the master bathroom is actually in the Bed room (No Door, Low Walls)

Here are some (Many) pictures..

We are moving in around mid July..
