[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found a reasonably-priced lot in the neighborhood we want. I want to buy it and build, but DH wants to keep checking out spec homes and expects to find one we like in terms of location and layout.[b] I feel like there are always a couple of things I don’t like about any house I see[/b] (pantry too small, weird flow, high traffic street, etc.) and have not found a home that meets my wants. [b]I feel that if I can pick my location and floorplan, I will be easy to please[/b] (I am not picky about finishes). DH thinks it’s not worth the hassle. I think it is because if we’re spending this much money on what we expect to be our “forever” home, we better love it. What do you think?[/quote] Those two statements are completely inconsistent. You have no idea what this entails. [/quote] Huh? You don’t get it. I care about location and floorplan. I would invest the time up front to get those right. I don’t care as much about top-of-the-line construction materials and finishes. I have better things to do with my time than micromanage someone else.[/quote]
