Small house planWe all want to own beautiful homes and we probably deserve that, but some people think they deserve the biggest homes there are so they make luxury house plans.
I have included here a few modest The idea here is to design a comfortable home of adequate size using an We all need to be frugal in the planning of our homes because the future is so uncertain. When you have no equity, no collateral, and no credit left, your life begins to fall apart. People that are hyper-extended with mortgages and deep in debt are like that, even though they seem to have it all together. The interest for a bad credit home loan is usually high which makes it hard to repay. Those who are fortunate, are those individuals who have equity which is collateral and so they can get credit if they need it. Equity can pull people through difficult times or enhance lifestyles in prosperity. What I’m saying is just this: Start out with a small house plan and add on with a home improvement loan or refinancing your house. You can build a house with future expansion in mind by building in headers for framing and junction boxes and valves for Electricity and Plumbing. It’s very inexpensive to plan for future expansion this way. Just remember, once you expand, also expand your Homeowners coverage. Start out small and you will get your project finished and paid for. Now you might be wondering, “how small is small?” Well, that depends on the size of your family. You definitely should plan on at least two bathrooms. Bathrooms are hard to build and kind of expensive, but if you go with one bathroom, you’ll regret it probably every day and your home will be hard to resell someday if you need to. I think every child should have his or her own room also. I guess to give you the nutshell version, I would say that any home more than 4,000 square feet, would be quite a challenge for one person. If you have two or three children, a 2,000 sq. ft. home might be perfectly comfortable and inexpensive to build. Gambrel style homes make sense. Most people still call them top of page |
Over 4 million visitors to this site since it was born! My newsletter keeps you up to date on home construction and design ideas. I just wanted to say that I love your website. My husband and I followed your instructions on building our own home. Most of the work we did ourselves, but not all. We saved $90,000 in labor costs and now have a beautiful home that we own. --Sue and Les Carrigan, Draper, Utah
I built my own home doing all my own labor. My house costs me around $70,000 for materials. It took me 8 months to build and is about 2,000 square feet. I didn't think I could do it, but your house web site encouraged me. I used all the info you had. Thank you, Benny Luis Lopez, Gainsville, Florida
I can't thank you enough for your free information web site about home building. I was looking for Electrical wiring diagrams when I found your site. It was very helpful. Steve Lundquist, Little Rock, Arkansas
My wife and I lost our home to foreclosure but we kept a plot of land to start over. We are halfway through the construction of our house. Your website gave us hope to start over and build a house with low payments. We are in our late 60's but we find it rewarding to put so much effort into a project that will reward us for years to come. Name respectfully withheld
