Building a NEW Home; 2532 sq/ft, comin along nicely...(picture heavy)

**Posi12Bolt** · 04-29-2009, 10:38 PM

After dealing with 800 sq/ft for the last 2.5 years and endless plans to build onto our little house, we finally decided just to put a whole new house on the back part of the property. Brand new 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms, living room, family room, 2532 sq/ft... stay tuned...

this was the area where its going. How it looked before...

then 6 weeks ago we put this on the Down Payment...300 Hundred dollar bills = $30k

we picked our house based on the following model...

and as of today (04/29/09)... we did the walkthrough at the factory...
we just want it here already, can you believe permits are $27,000!!!

I'll take some pictures of the foundation soon...and delivery too

5k? ouch. did you file your prop 8 reassessment this year?

I'm sorry I'm stupid. Are you having the house built from scratch or you're getting a modular home or is that basically a triple wide mobile home? reason why I ask is we almost did the same thing back in 2001 we looked at triple wide mobile home about 1800 sq and Im not kidding ya it was a damn house divided into threes!!! beautiful stuff. We were gonna get the upgraded tile floors and oak cabinets and all stainless appliances. Nice job though! house is nice!!!

what are you gonna do for a garage or shop?

its a modular aka pre-fab... house built in a factory and delivered in pieces with the final assembly at the sight.

as far as the garage goes, I'm building a 4 car at a 90 degree angle to the right of the house. eventually I would like to put a 2500-3000 sq/ft metal shop up but my budget is blown as it is right now.

I live in a 1800sqft triple wide and I love it people always try to talk shit saying I live in a trailer but when they come in side they are surpized. At leats I'm not paying some ones else rent for them. Good luck looks great.

That's the key... THE FOUNDATION!!! Those are nice placs but resale is hard and sucks without a foundation. That's a nice looking model.

I'm with Mikey on the bennes... That's a sweet pic!

Congratulations.
