As I mentioned previously, Ben and I bought four acres of land recently in a rural area outside of Grand Rapids. While we are not planning to build soon due to the poor housing market, we have begun to do a bit of research and see what is “out there” as far as house plans, builders, etc. A good friend is a Realtor and has suggested a local builder, so we are planning to go see one of their properties this weekend (open house) along with another suggested builder, who coincidentally also has an open house this weekend.
On Monday night, we went to the Macaroni Grill for Ben’s birthday. They have the butcher paper tablecloths covering the tables, and needless to say, Ben and I began sketching our respective dream homes on the tablecloth. We made lists of our wants, needs, and the like. Then, we came home and I began to explore the internet…famous last words, eh?
Found my dream house, folks! It’s pie in the sky, I realize, especially without having kids to fill 4 bedrooms…but here is a link if you are interested….
Long live the Blaine!
