House Hunters. Track Built Homes. Go Custom! Raleigh DIY Diva- February 1, 2006

Now here's my plug for house hunters to see past the cosmetic beauty often in your face in newer, track built homes. Picture this: You are about to stick your neck out and place the majority of your annual income toward a home of your own. You like nice things, and want your home to be "pretty." Enter big money making machine home builder. An acre holds 3 or 4 homes, and as a back drop to Monday Night Football, you get to watch your grandmotherly neighbor prepare for her bath each evening. Lovely. Choose from 6 floorplans and 15 front door colors, and POOF! You're in Stepford! The moral of this story: Buy or build a custom home, and don't be afraid to be a DIY Diva (or Divo) and tackle home improvement! I'm here to support you!
