When we were looking to build out first home, my husband was really great about letting me choose the design. He said the home was for me, as long as I left the garage and the yard up to him. I thought that this was a fair deal and I got busy with the architect, choosing the layout of our new home-to-be.

The one thing it had to have, to keep my husband happy, was a complete solar system. He is really big on saving energy, and although it was going to be a big cost, we were prepared to do whatever it took to make it happen. I didn’t care, as long as it did not make the house look bad in any way, and it didn’t.

I have to admit, too, that he did an awesome job with the yard. I have never had to plant a single flower or weed the vegetable garden, as that is what he loves doing. He keeps the lawn looking great and we are so at home in our new house. It took a long time for us to get here, but I would say that we are perfectly content.
