How to build the perfect house for our family
"We spent some time deciding what would be important for our family, and designed our house around those goals."
How I did it: All the normal stuff: secured a loan from the bank, secured a builder, planned with a draftsman, and started building!
Although the process went slower than we had hoped, we are pleased with the end result!
Lessons & tips: My wife and I had different goals for the house. Although they were different, they weren't at odds. For my wife, it was important to have a traditional two-story house with a front porch. For me it was important to have an energy efficient house. We accomplished both!
