Just Kidding about Building a House

So we went in on Thursday to pick out the exterior of our house and the lady helping us mentioned in passing that the bid they gave us didn't include their fee. It was enough of a fee that we decided to get out of the land deal and look into buying an already complete home. What did I learn from this charade? Well, I did learn that I do not speak blueprint. I can't look at a picture and see a big house. I also can tell you that a lot more goes into a house than just a couple of paint colors. I think that when we changed our plans we were relieved. Everyone except Ally, who really wants a house with a little door that goes under the stairs. There's still hope for that one.
