D and I have been tossing around the idea of moving for awhile. Our house is just getting to be too small for us. Plus if you ever decide to add to our family we wouldn't have room in our current house. Don't get me wrong our house is really not that small, I think we just have a lot of junk.
D wants to move far away from everything else. Me on the other hand doesn't really want to be that far away. I check online at least once a week to see what kind of listings they have. D would like at least 5 acres. Not a whole lot in our price range for sure.
So we have decided that we will try to find some land and then build our own house. Yikes that is really scary. D is very knowlegeable about the whole house building thing and will be able to do 80% of the work himself. I on the other hand know nothing. Which is okay cause I just get in his way anyways but one of us need to know about the financial side of things. I guess that would be my job.
I have found several parcels of land this week that are very reasonably priced. Some have been too far away but I found one that may work. We shall go look tonight. Wish us well, it is very scary.

Buying land is fun. Just dont' rush into anything. You are in no real hurry and that gives you the upper hand. We looked for a year before we found our 'piece of dirt' and it just happened to be the next street over. Then you can make sure you build the house you want.
GL tonight. (((Hugs)))
I know nothing about building a house either. Mike can do most 'handy' things. but he has no time :( so things he says he will get done only taks...oh about 5 yrs. (sigh)
Oh Court, this is fabulous. You will love building a custom home (when it's done LOL). I have all my fingers crossed for you. Lloyd and I are "seriously" looking come spring for land to build on later (right now we just look and occasionally will call on a hunk of land). I'm so happy for you :)
I hope all is going well and something turns up that has YOUR name all over it!
If it's meant for you, you'll know it. :)
Best of luck to you guys! Sounds so nice!
