Being single I decided to go a different way than most. Instead of a large house with a small garage or shop, I went with a large shop 30x48 with a 30x30 add on for my "house." Progress has been a little slow due to the weather, but it is coming along. Once the outside is finished, then it is my turn. Framing the rooms, electrical, plumbing, even building the cabinets is going to be done by me. It will be a slow process, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
