Lol, i work on an Oil rig, and she is a chartered accountant. Thanks for the compliments on both her and the house lol.

Yes, we did design it ourselves, well we saw a showhome with a similar living room/kitchen area with the high ceilings and designed a house around it, adding the garage, more rooms upstairs etc.. House is projected to cost $360,000, hopefully we stay in budget, so far so good.

Well we've got a signed contract and a mortgage for 360k, so that's all our builder gets..It's really a matter of us not going too overboard for upgrades.

And yes, our dollar is approx at par with yours right now. This house is being built about 45 mins from the city, the same house in the city would be 550-600k.

Trust me i'd much rather be buying a 900sqft house in California. We will hopefully be moving to the mountains in British Columbia in a few years, if not somewhere in the southern US, we both hate winter.
