They get you coming and going......

This is my first year as an employee...... They pull all taxes out of my checks.. I will prolly still have to pay in but won't be paying in what I use to... Like 15- 20 grand a year lol.

It sucks making money right? Just so someone can come to you (Other than your wife) and demand half....

Yep, I get fukked every year. Our household income the last couple years has exceeded the amount allowed to deduct student loan interest. That really pissed me off. And after taxes I get a whopping 60% of my commission checks. Then they still want more.

I know its a biproduct of having a business..........taxes........but holy mother of fuck.

Doesn't help that we are buying another house, not selling this one just yet (yippie, double mortgage!) and then sock on a huge tax bill? Oh feck. LOL

Starting to think about a new house again. Might look into building within the next year or two. We've been looking at a lot of plans lately and I found a builder that has some floor plans that I like. The "Canterbury" is one of them and they have one completed and for sale that I wouldn't mind going to look at. The kitchen doesn't have much storage but we could probably stand to get rid of some crap anyways. LOL.

The "Westport" is pretty appealing too.

I'm being very picky this time around. A three car garage that will hold my truck is going to be required and is non-negotiable. I also want the master and at least two other bedrooms down stairs. All of our bedrooms in the current house are upstairs and it's getting old. We also require a dedicated office as well as a guest room. This plan has a large game room that would also serve as a guest room as well as an additional bedroom upstairs that would be an office. Looking at the pics in the ad the "nook" looks big enough to fit a full size dining table which eliminates the need for the dining room, which could be used for the office; giving us a separate guest room and gameroom upstairs. A downstairs office is also more appealing to me.

My wife also wants separate sinks in the master, said she's tired of sharing a sink. She didn't find it funny when I said that feeling is mutual. LOL. A decent size backyard that I could separate into "dogville" and "kidville" is also needed.

I like the layout of the second one a LOT better.

I keep looking and going.....where's the basement. Drr...lol

**myoung84** · 01-31-2014, 06:22 PM

I do too. Only issue with that one is there isn't a downstairs office (assuming I could use the nook in the other plan as a dining room).

And yeah, no basements 'round here. I'd love one though.

**0212353** · 01-31-2014, 07:31 PM

is the soil just not good for a basement?

**myoung84** · 01-31-2014, 07:32 PM

I honestly have no idea....

**0212353** · 01-31-2014, 07:36 PM

brother's area is the same........his next house, basement.

Wonder.......they had to move the house a bit, there is a HUGE rock under the soil where he is building.

The problem for Oklahoma is that there is a lot of water in the soil. Also, the water table is quite high, which leads to quick problems with basement flooding or at least mold/mildew. These factors are what have influenced most building codes in OK which do not allow basements.
