I learned a long time ago that there is a big difference between "ideal situation", and "situation that I can afford". Kids staying in school district is more important then me having to paint. Simple to me... The lots up where my house is located are almost the same amount of money (if not the same) as the house I bought. I could never have bought a lot up there, developed it, and also built what I wanted. C'est la vie. I am thrilled to get into my own house again- hopefully I will see the inside of it soon!
