When I got married at 22, my DH and I had our own first home built. As newly weds, we rented a house across the street, and watched the new one go up. We still live in that “new” house, 46 years later. We still love it, because it is ours, and picked out by us.
My half-sister and her husband built their own home, I’d love to do it one day. There must be nothing like knowing a home is yours and no one else has lived in it.
Hello Cathy friends! I’m ready for Spring, who’s with me? :-)
My husband and I have been house-hunting for well over a year now and still can’t find anything we like. I wish I could get him to agree to build one from the ground up that we lovingly design ourselves and that no one else has ever lived in before, but he’sa former building contractor and says that doing something like that would be a real p.i.t.a. and refuses to do it. He’s positive that we can find what we’re looking for (or at least close to it) ….. we just have to be patient. Ha!!! Well, hopefully this Spring will bring on a whole new batch of freshly-listed houses that have never been on the market before and we can find our next “new” home then. Who knows.

@Mike G sounds like you’ve got yourself a pretty high-maintenance woman there. But actually, most of us aren’t.

Shouldn’t they have set up the house before the wedding.
