A large family. A mobile home. A house under construction. No loans.
Meet the do-it-yourself family, The Building Brows.
Parenting six kids in 832 square feet? It's nuts, it's cramped. It's taking forever to build our DIY home. But it's DEBT-FREE.

Lucrative Property

One of the joys of building must be the lack of lawn. Oh, how I look forward to the day we can landscape and I can sit outside sipping a cup of mocha while I watch the kids play on the swingset in a lush lawn. In the mean time, here's what we have:

An oceanless beach.

Sand, sand, sand, and more sand. Is it any surprise that the other day my kids created the mound with protruding sticks you see here? "It's where Spongebob lives," my four-year-old said. Of course. The city undersea where a rectangle sponge, dopey starfish, and clarinet-playing squid live; residents eat famous crabby patties; and the strongest jock is a bowl-on-the-head squirrel.

So you see, with 5.75 acres of beach-front property near the popular and prominent city of Bikini Bottom, we have the most lucrative property around.

Egads! You guys have to suffer with sand too? I like the sand because I can use most of the amount I displace to save me money, but as soon as I finish building I am going to try my best to create walkways and get a lawn going. I have one now, but it isn't taking to the sand all too well.

When it rains we get this sand sticking to our boots and shoes and we bring that up to the house. It's like living on the beach. It also gets extremely hot under the sun. I started planting huge breadfruit trees to see if I can get more shade around the house because of it. Hopefully they won't take that long to grow, LOL! Maybe another 7 years?

I've thought about bagging and selling the stuff. When we do want to grow lawn, we will likely have to purchase top soil before planting.

In the mean time I do a lot of sweeping and vacuuming. Least we could have is the ocean, right? And the real price tag (without the taxes).
