I also prefer older styled houses and "plantation columns. I won't go on that rant.  |
You have to build close if you live in any sort of a city these days, could you imagine the property taxes you'd pay on an acre lot in Houston or dallas proper? If I was to build new I'd build uber-modern, off the grid, fabulousness....
