Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Taking a little break from the virus threads, I thought I would get some thoughts on houses.
We are looking at building a small house in eastern Washington in town. We have located a quarter acre city lot just a few blocks from main street and the prices here are cheap (maybe we can get the lot for under $30k). City water, sewer and electrical hookups will be about $9000 total.
My wife is designing a 2nd empire style house, but very small (about 1000 square feet across two floors, not including the tower room with Mansard roof).
I am wondering if that is maybe too small. I don't really plan on selling it but it is always in the back of one's mind.
We would be doing all of the building ourselves (after building the pole barn, shed, deck and workshop, we are ready to try a house).
