Deja Vous Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If all goes well here I hope to shop for my own place again in the spring. I love log cabins, not happening here in CA.. lol.. So, then I considered my second choice, a craftsma home. Something smaller, with a nice garage with a workshop to reload in. And spaces to draw again, sew again maybe even go back to the industial machine and really sew.. loll... A little home... with a HUGE G ARAGE.. lol Growing up in a huge old victorian farmhome I froze in Northern Illinois souther WI and SD. So, while I have lived in a lot of large homes, the smaller home has been cozy to me. The farm house was full of love, laughter, work, and the smells of cooking filled the rooms, cooking for all of us had to be a mess.. lol The walls of a huge home now echo with the emptyness of my siblings... maybe that is the reason, don't know.. maybe I get lost easy.. lol So, craftsman home or ranch home? The ranch you get more bang for your buck, the craftsman you get quality and style.. Ah... what is your favorite type of home? And is it a large home or large shop that you prefer? Gosh, maybe a barn home? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If we ever get our current place on the market and sold, I'll be looking for a big garage with a decent sized ranch house attached. I want the garage to be big enough for cars and woodworking tools, with a room in the house for a gun and reloading space. Miz Grizz thinks a fixer upper would be fun, I think someplace move in ready that needs at most a coat of paint is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, if shopping for a house, the first thing I would look for is if it has a roof. Roof is #1. It rains a lot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Trying to save up for our first house. I our budget is definitely below cheap. The rent we are paying would pay a mortgage more than double are price range though so hopefully we can find a place and a way to get it. Personally I like either small house with huge barn/shed or huge Victorian house. My dream houses are a one room cabin or an irish castle. Kinda opposite extremes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you are getting kinky. Rain on a tin roof is comforting on a dark rainy night. But, and there is always a but, you will also need walls and a fire place. Lights might be good too.

Bama Red Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Deja, we're kinda partial to log homes, also - we're currently living in our second one. Our first one was in far East Tennessee on forty acres, with a two acre pond. It was in a town with a population of 212 folks, twenty minutes from the nearest traffic signal of any kind and forty-five minutes from the nearest Wally World or supermarket . We had horses, cows, deer, wild turkey, bobcats, coyotes and bear. Now we've got another log home on nine acres in central Tennessee, almost down on the Alabama state line. Happy Cow Farm Reckon we might stay here a bit, if our health holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Fixerupper sounds a whole lot better than it plays. I did the same house twice with 28 years between attempts. First attempt took 3 years to complete. Second about a year. Me doing all the work. Had a new one built 6 years ago and will burn the mortgage next month. Yea!

In Washington? Say it isn't so. I spent some time in Seattle area and whatever didn't mildew or mold, rusted or washed away. The only thing that made it all worthwhile was Ivar's Acres of Clams...and a little Japanese-Finnish girl I me up by the college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 We built our last house almost thirty years ago...and old-looking, three-dormer farm house with a big, covered front porch. One of the builders, on completion of the job, said, "I've been building homes for twenty years now, and this is the first time I've built a new home that looks a hundred years old." Well, we sold that great place a few months ago and moved 800 miles away to another old-looking farmhouse style home. Seems to fit our way of life. Big country kitchen, wood floors, acreage for the animals, big garden, fruit trees, etc. Whatever you decide upon, it will eventually feel like home, and like they say, "There's no place like home."
