Cool post. I love my little metal a-frame on 5 acres. It is 2100sf with a nice deck off the second floor, where we can watch the wildlife. It has a cool metal roof that looks like wood shingles. And the kitchen is big and well designed. It cost us 75k back in 1997. (Of course we have put lots more into "little upgrades" since then.) The only thing I would change now? A bigger fireplace! And we should have purchased more of the surrounding woods. I know it's not everyone's dream home but we sure are comfortable here.
