    I was worried about buying a house, too. We went with the housing inspector that not only answered questions I asked, but did so with frankness. Never go with who the real estate agent suggests.

    Mrs. Belly and I are going to have our house built. we are both so picky about the little features, that a cookie cutter suburbanite dream probably won't work for us. she needs an awesome kitchen to bake her ass off, and I need a gun room the size of a basketball court.

    the houses here in Texas don't have basements, and that's a weird thing for me to deal with.

    the nice thing, is that you can get a polished concrete flooring in your house, so the roomba works like a damn champ!!

    Absolutely legit. We would have had our house built, until we saw what became our home. Having your home built is a really good idea, if you have a lot of very specific ideas/needs.

    A basement was one of a non-negotiable points in our house-hunting. And our cats slid and slip on our dining room floor, which is wood. It's hilarious!

    I don't slide. I'm a graceful as a swan.

    Sounds like you need to contact Adam Kalkin. Check out this link and look at each one. The 12-container home is my dream house.

    And don't tell TheGrey about the above link. She'll be up all night looking at container homes.
