Ok, I’m getting the urge to build a new house again. I’ve now been in this house for over three years and pretty much know everything I’d want to change in a new house. My ideal situation would be to start building while still living here as to not have to move twice, but realistically I doubt the bank would go for that. The idea of renting or buying something smaller in the meantime does not sound appealing.
Of course, I’m not even sure where I’d build a new house – I’d need to buy a lot first. I’m considering building outside the city limits, but there are pros and cons to that…
Pros: Less property taxes, More personal space, Own well so no water costs, Lower gas costs with own tank.
Cons: More upkeep, Farther from town to cart kids to activities and grab a soda when having a caffeine fit.
Such decisions. Time to start manifesting my dreams.
Other than that, Life is good today!
How does a single mom, raising a bunch of kids on her own, afford to build her own house? And now you’re going to build another one? Do you have a trust fund? I don’t follow your blog too closely but this hit me. In this bad economy, with many people losing their homes, how can you build houses as a single mom?

Another house? Can’t wait to hear more!
