On the topic of Waiting....

Waiting for our house to be done has been excruciating! We are now at the 1 year mark of living in the apartment and as of right now the house should be completed by mid February. We signed the papers to build in January 06!! Thank goodness we are locked in to last years prices because if we were to buy now it would cost us $100,000 more to build the same house! Friends of ours just bought a 1200 sq.ft modular home (trailer) for the same price as our 1700 sq. foot two story. The market is out of control! I have to get over and take some pictures of the house. The siding is going up and I'm so happy we picked the same sunny yellow color as our 1st house. At least it stands out from the many shades of taupe in the rest of the cul de sac.

Ooooh! We are thinking of yellow for our house...the siding needs to be replaced and there was a sunny yellow house near our old house and we loved it!!!

I hate grey!! Ours is soooo GREY right now!

I agree the housing market is crazy!

FYI a modular is not the same as a trailer. You can get 2 story modulars that are very nice!

lol she called it a modular but its a trailer for sure! 1 floor about 1100 sq. feet. I don't have any problems with modulars or trailers but the price of everything is out of sight!
