Is your house a home?

[byred]

So many of us seem to be on our own. Do you take the time to make your house is a home, a safe haven if you will. It seems to me, the older I get, the more important this becomes to me. I am curious how others feel.

I designed all three of the houses I have owned. They all were ...... out of the norms. My last house went to a Chiefs football player .... my first wife got the money ..... humm.

The idea of this house came to mind - after I had left my first wife (16 years). It was to be a single guy’s “pad” - with his dog. I had just had the trees ripped out of the center of the lot when ............

I met my 2nd wife - it was home to four of us humoids and some pets for 17 years - then pOOf it was back to 1 person and a dog.

I built this place like a tank - in 1986. Today it is still a tank but could use some “spiffing up”. I also built an office onto the back of this house and have worked from it since about 1990.

This place is not “all that” but I think it is pretty cool. It is not much like “normal houses”. I built it to last me the rest of my life and ........ I have no big plans to leave it.
