Ya but just think when its all said and done you will have a paid off house and home for your family. My husband and I try to make double payments to get the house paid as quick as possible.

The problem is my wife keeps adding and changing things. The builder laughs when he sees her coming into his office. Lol

Now imagine you're the builder......my cousin and his wife have built 4 homes. Him doing 99% of the work himself. He says he about choked her out this last time.

We kept adding another 4 feet here and 4 feet there. Every 4 feet is thousands of dollars extra. What is sad is that even though we built to our specs after it was completed there are a half a dozen things we would do different now. Hindsight

We built our house 20 yrs ago and had no idea at the time how much we didn't know.

Ya but isn't it nicer to build? You can put everything you want into it. Like paint colors? Cabinets etc? We bought what we thought would be a starter home but now are comfortable to raise our 3 kids in. Didn't get everything we wanted but we have everything we need.

The wife is slowly getting it the way she wanted BUT it sure is more expensive at this stage than it would have been to do it right the first time.

I told her enough is enough. Everything is done. Stop changing. I said why don't you focus on new furniture, etc???

Bad idea. Apparently I'll need another storage unit for everything she's buying.

But this is the last house ever thank god.
