House now looking like a house..framing...tyvek..trusses. Soon electrical and plumbing to be ruffed in, also hvac, then drywall..etc..
After that: roofing..siding. went with huge basement and pre-fab basement walls specially designed for finished basement...planning wet bar there..home theatre..workout area..air hockey..billiards..
1,900 sq foot ranch style..same size basement plus 2 car garage..
Did incredibly dumb thing years ago. Was unsure my career would last, thus bought big mobile home. New house embodies long-held dream...bolsters self assessment as dad...represents much to this 10th grade dropout..
Somewhat unsettling, however, to see 5 dudes toil 10 hour days in burning sun (not to mention crane operator and excavator) and realize I am paying them all......
No mortgage for son..busting our tails to pay all cash..what would be point of leaving him home he doesn't really own??
