Yeah, I hope to get a few of the garage after work today. I'll give the Civic a quick detail and let her pose in her new resting place.

We have just begun building a new house in the DFW area. We had to look for a while to find an area that had half-acre lots and the quality of house that we wanted without paying $300-400K. Knowing what we are paying for our house, I am really impressed with the quality of materials in your new house given the price range you stated. I too, am looking forward to finally having a garage to put all of our cars in. I envy you, since ours won't be ready until August.

I really am still amazed at the quality materials used in your house for ONLY 110-150k!!!!!!!!! Other than the 2nd floor and the 5 car garage you have much of what we will have in our new house. We have well over half an acre, plus lake frontage but we are still probably close to 5 times the cost of your place! Excellent find, so lets see the garage already and hear what you have planned for it.

Amen Brother!

Welcome to the American dream (now get out there and cut that lawn)

Do you have any space above the garage for the music studio?

Good luck and Congrat's

Thanks SVT. We were really shocked when we saw the price it was going for. It was really a rare find. It has already appraised for $5000 over our purchase price. Keep in mind it is only 1460 sq. ft. (liveable space) but, it has an intelligent floorplan that makes the most of it. My family and friends thought it was closer to 1550-1600 ft. One thing I really admire about the plan is you don't have to walk through one room to get to another which cuts down on carpet traffic through living areas.

You know that's a good idea. I looked in the attic and there is quite a bit of room up there. I am going to discuss that option with the contracter to see if it's a possiblity. I just don't know where the staircase would fit in though.

Wow, looks great!

The fit and finish looks to be quality workmanship.

It's definately a neutral, clean look waiting for landscaping, splashes of color and decorating. I'm sure your wife is licking her chops at the chance

A perfect first home - Congratulations!

Now post garage pics! That's what we care about

I just saw the price! We are in the wrong state man! LOL

Tulsa or T-town as we call it!

I'm in Edmond. I have some family in Tulsa. Very confusing streets. I always get lost when I go there.

Just one thing. No pictures of the garage. THE GARAGE ...man!

I agree we need some garage pics - and the garage plan. I hope to buy my first house in a couple months myself and want to see some garage ideas!

Congratulations!

You simply can't get a home in a place where it's safe to go outside here for less than about ~$400k. If you have $150 to spend you're headed to the desert which is a looooong way from the city.
