So Andrew and I are thinking it is time to try a different tact in finding long term housing. After looking at so many houses where either the house or the location or both was wrong to one of both of us we are thinking about looking for land first. Acreage is still cheaper in Mechanicsburg than places like London and Plain City. If we find a nice lot to suit us 1.5 to 2.5 acres we may be able to get it and put a new unibuilt house on it for what we would spend on a 30 year old house in a decent neighborhood. Unibuilt is really cool--they build the houses in pieces in a climate controlled factory and then put up your house in 8 days. It's less expensive than traditional contracting because you don't have weather delays, sub contractors, or materials coming from like, 5,000 different places. There are loads of floorplans and options too. Check it out, www.unibilt.com.
So now we have to find land, and that isn't going to be easy but Dad is going to drive around keeping his eyes peeled and our agent is on it. We are going up to unibilt this weekend to find out more. The weather is crappy and everything feels tired and worn. We took Kitten to the vet for her check up and have her on special food because she has been throwing up a lot. Yeah I know, special food from the vet but she hasn't thrown up since we switched her. Andy is fine. He's watching lots of home improvement videos and reading a lot of books. I think at this point he could be a house inspector. He's also cooking a chicken for us tonight. YUM, no cheese in that!
