Recreating The House That Built Me

When I was about 10 years old, my parents built their first house.  It’s a modular home, meaning it was constructed by a building company offsite & then transported to their property.  From start to finish, it only took about 6 weeks to complete.



Now, all these years later, it’s our turn to get into some permanent housing.  We’ve been searching the real estate listings to no avail & have even considered building our own home.  I own land next to my parents, so building is definitely an option.

Then, I found it.

I was casually browsing a house plan website when I came across an exact replica of my parents’ house.
Well, the replica before they made any changes.

Here’s how their floor plan looks now:


& here’s how it was originally presented to them before they made changes:

One of their biggest house regrets was taking out the master bath.  It just wasn’t in their budget at the time.
Other customizations included:  taking out the closets in the den & that funky hallway closet, omitting the fireplace & taking out that little entry hallway.

Anyway, I thought it could be an awesome idea to build an eerily similar house next to the one I grew up in.   You know those neighborhoods where there’s like 50 of the same house right next to each other?  I could get it going right in my own neighborhood!  So it would only be 2 houses instead of 50, but still cool nonetheless.

I’m pretty set in stone with this idea, so now the money saving begins!
