Where Did All This Come From?

The Thoughts Behind The House.

I decided to take just a moment to explain the blessings of our home.

Rachel was wanting to move close to Gary and Ruby. As she began her search, she found most senior communities in their area to be $190,00 and up. Most were running $225-$250,00. Now Rachel's home was paid for and she would receive all monies from the sale of her home. Still she was only looking to receive about half of what these other homes/condos cost because the real estate in her area was signifcantly less.

In the meantime, Gary and Ruby decided it might be the right direction to sell their homes and buy a home large enough for them and Rachel. Thus the idea, sell both home and buy one together.

As Gary, Ruby and Rachel prayed, they looked at many homes. None seem to fit their needs. Many were large enough but finding an in-law suite to suit was the problem. Finally, they spotted this plot of land. It was not for sale but they found the owner. He was willing to sell.

It seemed appropriate to buy the land and build the house to suit the specific needs of Rachel and Ruby and Gary.

During the sale, they realized the land was in the historic distric (with all it's guidelines) of this quaint little city. Thus their home would need to fit in with the historic perservation. Consequently, we have the wonderfully, new, historic home fashioned with in-law quarters, that you see on this blog.

The in-law suite is the entire left side of the bottom floor. The house will be 3300 square feet and the plan was one we drew ourselves. Thank you for sharing in our prayers and progress.
