My spouse, Vince, and I obtained our first cabin about three years ago, and my buddy and I had been married for over ten years at that point, but my associate and I never settled into one part long enough to buy a cabin there.
My buddy and I had to transport quite a bit because of my spouse’s job! I am so thankful that she switched positions at her job, so that my associate and I could actually settle down and buy a home.
It is sort of an older type home. It has lots of room as opposed to an open floor plan. I actually prefer the more traditional type home, so I prefer our house, however there are five home offices upstairs, and the downstairs part is actually large and homey. My buddy and I also have a big basement! Even though the kids each have their own home office, they particularly wanted somewhere to rough house and play together. My buddy and I decided that the basement would be perfect for that. The only issue with using the basement was that it got particularly chilly down there during the wintertime. There was no heat down there, so my associate and I had to come up with our own heating system. My buddy and I had two electric space boilers that my associate and I tried putting down there, but it just did not split it. It is such a big area, and those electric space boilers only got it up to around fifty degrees. I know the kids would have been nice with that, however I wanted it to be a bit warmer for them. My buddy and I eventually decided on getting a propane fireplace to go down there. It works great, and along with one of the electric heaters, it keeps the basement at about seventy degrees.
